The DANA nucleus is starting to move towards the Balearics from the mainland, so it will be cooler, with highs of 14º-17º and lows of 5º-12º.
On Thursday the DANA will be between Valencia, southern Catalonia and the north of the Balearic Islands, bringing grey skies, heavy rain, thunderstorms and hailstorms and snow is likely above 1,200 metres. Expect daytime highs of 10º-14º, but be warned, the temperature drop to a chilly 4º-9º overnight.
On Friday, the weather should start to improve, but there may be occasional scattered showers in the south of the Island. Daytime temperatures will hover around 12º-16º and drop to 5º-12º overnight.
This weekend will be cold, wet and windy and the mercury will struggle to reach 17º.
