Aemet having updated its weather warnings for Wednesday in the morning and issued an amber for the interior and yellow for everywhere else until 6pm, the rain and thunderstorms largely failed to materialise. Cloud certainly built up and looked threatening, but much of the island ended up having a sunny and very warm afternoon.

So, we'll see what Thursday brings, as the met agency is predicting another day of heavy rain and thunderstorms. As of Wednesday evening, the weather alerts are:

Amber for rain (40 litres per square metre in one hour) in the east and south of Mallorca from midnight Wednesday to noon on Thursday. Yellow (30 litres) for the rest of the island for the same period.

Yellow for thunderstorms for the whole of Mallorca from midnight to noon.

Weather stations are at present indicating around 50% probability of rain on Thursday at most, with some (especially in the north) forecasting as low as 10 and 15% plus a good deal of sun.

There are currently also yellow alerts for rain and storms for the south and the Tramuntana from 6am to 4pm on Friday.
