Aemet suggests there is the possibility of thunderstorms overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday, but the forecast is for a generally sunny Wednesday, not much risk of rain but windy.

The wind is expected to strengthen by the evening, as there is a yellow alert from 8pm to midnight for the Tramuntana region, the south and the east - gusts up to 70 km/h. This alert is currently active until 8am on Thursday.

There are also alerts for the coasts: yellow in the south and east from midnight to 9pm and then amber until midnight Wednesday and continuing into Thursday (waves to eight metres). For the Tramuntana coast, there is a yellow alert from 6pm to midnight, also continuing into Thursday.

The wind, as previously reported, will be a factor for several days, at least until Easter Monday. The forecasts for Thursday and Friday remain as they were - sunny with some quite high temperatures in areas on Friday.
