Cloudy with sunny spells on Friday, a risk of rain but not great. Wind due to pick up late on in the north and the Tramuntana ahead of quite a blowy Saturday, when temperatures are expected to be high in northern areas - up to 26C.

There is a high risk of rain over the weekend, this continuing into the start of next week. With the wind for the whole island forecast to come from the south on Saturday, it's not surprising that Aemet is warning of some muddy rain - the wind will drag in Saharan air and dust. There could be more mud on Sunday, the met agency noting that temperatures will drop.

This unsettled pattern is due to persist into the start of next week.
