The Aemet met agency reports that a depression that is causing torrential rain and flooding in southeastern Spain is heading in the direction of the Balearics.

A yellow alert for heavy rain has been issued for Mallorca's interior for Thursday afternoon - it is possible that the alert will be extended - Aemet spokesperson Bernat Amengual saying on Tuesday that the depression "will not produce adverse weather phenomena". In other words, while heavy rain, thunderstorms and hail can be expected, there will be less intensity than on the mainland.

For Wednesday, things look reasonable for northern areas - low probability of rain and a good deal of sun - and less good elsewhere. Thunderstorms may break out in the afternoon, and any rain may be of the muddy variety. Rain is on the cards for the whole of Mallorca on Thursday, with the alert for the interior currently effective from noon until 6pm. Further stormy weather is possible on Friday.
