Some rain possible for much of the island on Wednesday, the least probabilities being in the southwest and the Tramuntana from Andratx to Soller. Otherwise, sunny spells and pleasant temperatures in the high 20s. A similar pattern expected for Thursday. Friday, as noted in Monday's weather report, is due to be generally very good.

Also noted in Monday's report was that we should be keeping an eye out for the weekend. The rain forecast for the whole of the island (which is likely to extend into Monday) is on account of what Aemet predicts will be a DANA, an isolated depression at high levels, more commonly referred to as the 'gota fría' or cold drop in English. This can mean quite severe storms and heavy rain, though the met agency points out that this isn't always the case and that at present the intensity of this weather event can't be calculated with certainty. We'll get a better picture later in the week.
