Rain predicted overnight and into Sunday morning. There could be thunderstorms as well. Much less risk of rain in the afternoon, which is due to be mainly sunny. But Sunday will continue to be windy. There is a yellow alert for high wind in the south and in the Tramuntana from midnight Saturday to 12 noon Sunday - gusts of 70 km/h. The rest of the island will be pretty blowy, and there are yellow alerts for the coasts - Tramuntana and north/northeast from midnight to midnight; south and east from midnight to 6pm.

The week ahead is at present forecast to be windy at times but also mostly sunny until Friday, which looks a bit iffy.
