On Friday, the sky was full of African dust. Aemet pointed out around 1pm that there wasn't a cloud in the sky, but there was this mass of dust, which is due to be at its maximum concentration around midnight. It will be pushed towards the west on Saturday, but there is likely to be some muddy rain.

The Saturday forecast is for rain and thunderstorms for the whole island. Some sunny spells, most likely in the morning. And it will again be windy.

There is a yellow alert for wind, but not until 9pm and only for the Tramuntana region. This alert will continue into Easter Sunday and will extend to the whole island. There are also alerts in place for the coasts on Sunday, when there will be a high probability of rain but with more sun forecast.

The wind will still be around on Easter Monday, which is otherwise due to be a much better day.
