The highest temperature of the month was in Sa Pobla with 43.9, an all-time record. There were also record temperatures in Lloseta 43.5C; Sineu, 43.0C; the Colònia Sant Pere and Llucmajor 42.8C.

As a result of the high temperatures during the day and night all nights were classified as "tropical." The hot weather caused major problems for households with residents in Banyalbufar complaining that they couldn't sleep.

The temperatures appear to have cooled slightly so far this month and the Palma Met Office is forecasting unsettled weather for this week.
