Chilly first thing on Thursday, as it was on Wednesday - just above freezing in areas - and then sunny with high cloud. The cloud is expected to build up in the evening, with rain and possible thunderstorms overnight and into Friday morning.

In the Tramuntana, there is a yellow alert for wind from 6pm (gusts of 70 km/h). This alert is active until 4am on Friday. It is possible that this will be extended, weather stations indicating that it will be fairly windy across the island on Friday but not as windy as Saturday, which is currently looking pretty grim - strong winds, grey skies and rain.
