As noted in yesterday's report, there is a yellow alert for high temperatures on Thursday. It is for the interior and the north/northeast from 1pm to 7pm. Aemet suggests there could be highs of 38C, these being most likely in usual hotspots, e.g. Muro and Sa Pobla. The thermal sensation, according to weather stations, is likely to be high for the whole island - 35C and more.

A fine and sunny day everywhere. There is, by the way, no heat wave. Thursday's temperatures, as previously noted, are related to the heat wave affecting the mainland, but that's it. The met agency has issued advice of high temperatures up to Sunday, but Mallorca and the Balearics haven't been included in this.

Temperatures, in general, expected to fall on Friday, but there is a variable pattern at present, and so southern Mallorca is due to experience higher temperatures than elsewhere; there is no yellow alert at present for Friday.

This variability is also noticeable with forecasted temperatures for Sunday into next week; 36C in the north and parts of the interior but lower for the rest of Mallorca.
