The risk of forest fires will remain “very high or extreme” over the next few days and “all precautions must be taken into account” and call 112 immediately if a fire is discovered, according to Civil Protection.

On Sunday temperatures in Mallorca are likely to reach or pass 36 degrees in the interior.
