Rain likely to continue overnight and into Tuesday morning; Aemet says that rain in the early hours is most likely in the east and could be accompanied by thunderstorms.

Depending on area, the probability of rain during the day does vary - high in central and eastern areas, with thunderstorms possible in the afternoon; lower probability elsewhere. There should be sunny spells on Tuesday.

There are no weather alerts, those for Monday having been reasonably accurate in that the heaviest rain was in parts of the Tramuntana and the south. A point about these alerts is that they cover relatively wide areas. For example, in the south there were sixteen litres of rain per square metre in Andratx (Sant Elm) but only 0.8 at the Salines Llevant weather station near the coast in Campos. The rain wasn't, it has to be said, as heavy as the yellow alert had suggested.

For Wednesday, there is now a high risk of rain in the afternoon, but otherwise mainly sunny.

The outlook into the weekend is for temperatures to rise. On Sunday, a high of 27C is forecast. The chance of rain from Thursday onwards is low.
