This does rather sum up the current pattern, with southern areas and the interior most likely to get rain, and it is tending to fall in the afternoon. The radar map here shows lightning strikes (yellow and red) on Wednesday afternoon.
By Wednesday evening, Aemet weather maps showed the rain clouds moving off and leaving generally clear skies, but with a warning that storms are likely to occur again on Thursday. Accordingly, there are yellow alerts for rain and thunderstorms for the south and the interior from 12 noon to 6pm. Warning of rainfall up to 30 litres per square metre in one hour and with hail possible. There is also currently a yellow alert for the interior on Friday between 1pm and 7pm.
For Thursday, the better of the weather is once more expected to be in northern and Tramuntana coastal areas. Thunderstorms around on Friday and Saturday, with the risk of showers continuing into next week.

With rain occuring in various areas of the Island. Collecting the rain needs to be addressed. It obviously does not rain every time in the Tramuntana region. So, as well as a De-Salination Plant and Irrigation scheme for Farm Lands. Collecting rain in all areas of the Island warrants another urgent project.
