"Good news, probable rain until the first week of June...." says a tweet from the Palma Met Office this morning. For an island facing water shortages this summer it is indeed good news but sun worshippers hoping for an early start to the summer might think differently.
Summer Sunday after clocks go forward
Yesterday Mallorca felt like a real summer day, with high temperatures that had people walking outdoors or even dipping their feet in the water. Aemet reported that it reached 27º degrees in Puerto Pollensa, 26º in Son Servera, Pollensa and Petra and 25º in Santa Maria, Arta, Manacor and Son Bonet.
Mallorca resevoirs nearly full after the passage of storm "Juliette"
The Cúber and Gorg Blau reservoirs that supply Palma are at 90% of their capacity, following the passage of the "Juliette" storm in Mallorca at the end of February. Town Hall representatives visited the area last Friday and have sent a message of calm for the summer season.

Wonderful news for Mallorca, but not for Tourists. How I wish the rain periods could occur during the long hot Summer. It is such a pleasure to stand in Summer Rain during very hot periods. I hope that those working on creating rain are successful.
