Good amounts of sun on Thursday but still windy. A yellow alert for high wind in the east, south and Tramuntana region is active only until 8am, but the day will be very breezy everywhere. In areas, the wind is expected to ease by the evening. This is the case in Palma, where the most important of all the Easter processions - Crist de la Sang - starts at 7pm.

An amber alert for the south and east coasts is active until 2pm - waves possibly as high as ten metres. This will become yellow until 6pm. For the Tramuntana coast there is a yellow alert until noon.

The outlook for the next few days remains unaltered - sunny and pretty warm on Friday, rain possible from Saturday to Monday, with Easter Sunday currently having the worst forecast. It will also continue to be quite windy at times.
