First, a wrap on Friday's rain. The greatest rainfall (to 8pm) was in Santanyi - 17.6 litres per square metre. So, although it rained quite heavily in areas, the amount of rain was below the yellow alert anticipation of 20 litres in the space of one hour.

A storm which looked as if it might hit the north of the island in the morning didn't. The worst of the rain was in Ibiza and Formentera - up to 34.2 litres per square metre.

For Saturday, there is likely to be some cloud around and just a possibility of some rain, but very low. There is a yellow alert for rough coastal conditions in the north and northeast from 4am to 3pm. Sunday looks sunnier with an outside chance of a spot of rain.

The met agency has issued a warning of a heat wave episode as from Monday, but it notes that the Balearics will be less affected by this than the mainland. Aemet says that temperatures in Mallorca will rise slightly over the weekend and then will in fact drop on Monday. Some weather stations are indicating highs of 35C to 37C midweek, but in general they are pointing to 32C and 33C. The outlook is for plenty of sunny weather.
