Quite a hot Wednesday especially in the southern half of Mallorca, with highs of 35C forecast. Sunny everywhere, with a moderate breeze blowing for most of the island.

On Thursday the temperatures will go up, hence why a yellow alert has already been issued. This is from noon until 8pm for the interior (up to 38C) and for the south and north/northeast (36C).

There will be more alerts into the weekend. Amber alerts may be on the cards as 40C is currently being forecast by some weather stations, e.g. Sa Pobla, on Saturday. For Sunday we have a 39C for the interior, with temperatures then expected to drop several degrees on Monday to a general range of 28-32C.

A heatwave? Probably, given the distribution of high temperatures and the number of days.
