Tuesday's weather in Mallorca - More dust cloud possible

An Aemet satellite image around noon on Monday showed two Saharan dust clouds, one already to the east of the island and another one on its way. Breezes on Tuesday will be predominantly easterly, making the haze quite likely as the dust gets pushed in.

As mentioned in Monday's report, it is due to get fairly hot in the interior (Binissalem 36C on Thursday; could well go higher), with temperatures then forecast to fall on Friday. Weather stations are pointing to temperatures rising again on Sunday.
