Amber heat alert for the south on Thursday (a high of 39C) and yellow alerts for the Tramuntana and the interior (up to 38C). These are active from 1pm to 7pm, and the same alerts are currently in place for Friday as well.

The latest general heat wave advisory from the met agency says that fresher air from the Atlantic is due to push in on Sunday. But this is only for the mainland; it doesn't say anything about the Balearics, where highs are still forecast to be around 37-38C into next week.
