Up to midnight Thursday, Mallorca is on amber alert for heavy rain.

The yellow alerts for rain and thunderstorms on Friday remain as previously announced. They apply to the whole island from midnight Thursday to 6pm Friday; the possibility of up to 25 litres per square metre of rain in one hour.

Some weather stations are predicting spells of sunny weather in the morning, but the greater likelihood is in the afternoon.

Moving on to Saturday, for which no alerts have been issued, there is a risk of showers. This is mainly in the morning. Sunday looks a bit unsettled but with less risk of any rain.
