Saturday looking better than weather stations had been predicting on Thursday - some cloud, but the chance of rain is lower than had been forecast. Temperatures expected to be up a bit on Friday - a high of 32C is on the cards.

As to Sunday, the met agency has now issued an amber alert for heavy rain (up to 40 litres per square metre in one hour) for the north/northeast of Mallorca and for the Tramuntana region. This is from midnight Saturday until 4pm on Sunday. There is a yellow alert for the rest of Mallorca for the same period.

There hadn't been alerts for heavy rain as such, just the possibility. Aemet issued these amber and yellow alerts around midnight on Friday.

The rain could be accompanied by thunderstorms. Temperatures are due to drop noticeably, though values of around 24C would be normal for the time of year.

Heading into next week, remaining unsettled with a probability of rain at least until Thursday. Temperatures expected to rise again on Monday. Getting quite windy by midweek.
