Another glorious day in prospect on Saturday. Clear blue skies and a bit hotter - up to 32C in the interior. Similar temperatures for Sunday and then dropping slightly on Monday.

Temperatures such as this are certainly not uncommon in Mallorca for the time of year, although on the mainland the met agency is forecasting unprecedented temperatures for the start of October - up to 38C.

Aemet also notes that the anticyclone over the western Mediterranean, which is giving the current very settled weather, is producing very little wind. Mallorca - the island of calm, as the painter and writer Santiago Rusiñol once described it.
