In like a lion as the saying goes, but the first of March this year will be in like a pussycat compared to the roar of Storm Juliette in 2023. Still, according to all weather stations, there will be rain with thunderstorms on Friday morning and it won't be very warm; improving in the afternoon. There is a yellow alert for rough coastal conditions (Tramuntana and the south) from 2am to 12 noon; gusts of 60 km/h and waves up to three metres.

For the weekend, rain is currently being forecast for Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Otherwise sunny, but the main thing will be the wind. There are no weather alerts for high winds as yet, but there probably will be.
