For those of you in Mallorca who may have wondering what all the fuss was about bad weather alerts, there was some rain on Thursday - fairly heavy in the Santa Maria area, but not as heavy as an amber or even a yellow alert had suggested.

For Friday, there are yellow alerts for heavy rain and thunderstorms for the south of the island and for the Tramuntana region - up to 20 litres per square metre of rain in an hour. Weather stations are forecasting rain (high probability) for the whole of Mallorca, plus thunderstorms in the north. Some sunny spells as well. It could be, therefore that the weather alerts are widened. We'll see.

As for the weekend, looking pretty good. Sunny with some cloud and quite hot on Sunday. Some rain is currently being forecast from Monday.
