Sunny with some occasional cloud, there is a yellow alert for high temperatures (up to 38C) for the whole of Mallorca on Thursday. The alert is active from noon until 7pm. The met agency says that a southwesterly will cool things down a bit on Friday, which may be the case in areas, but a yellow alert is active for the interior.

Over the next few days, no real change is forecast and still due to touch 38C in the interior at the start of next week.

There was, by the way, just a touch of rain around on Wednesday morning; didn't amount to much. And also, by the way, Aemet says that there hasn't been and isn't a heat wave in Mallorca because only certain areas have been affected by particularly high temperatures on given days.
