Sant Joan beach in Alcudia, Mallorca

Quite windy on Friday, so the sea will probably be choppy, like in Alcudia in this image. | Pedro Prieto Cortés

Well, according to Aemet, a storm is due to blow in on Friday. However, weather stations predictions of rain now indicate a 40% probability of rain at most; lower than was being forecast on Wednesday. The met agency does say that any rain will be light and may well be of the muddy variety. It is expected to be quite windy, and as the breezes will be from the north, it's likely to feel chilly.

There are no weather alerts, so it can't be much of a storm by the looks of it. Otherwise, generally cloudy for most of the island with some mist or fog possible in the morning.

Remaining fairly unsettled on Saturday, better on Sunday, but there is at present a high probability of rain on Monday and Tuesday.
