Friday is forecast to be generally sunny for the whole island but with cloudy spells and just an outside chance of a drop of rain. If there is any rain, Aemet is suggesting that it will be in the Palma area and parts of the Tramuntana in the afternoon.

For Saturday, as previously reported, the risk of rain is due to increase later in the day. The probability of rain is now higher than it was, and weather alerts - as had been expected - have been issued.

The alerts are for heavy rain and thunderstorms. At present they are from 6pm to midnight for the whole island - up to 25 litres of rain per square metre.

The outlook from Sunday to Tuesday continues to be a very high probability of rain but also sunny spells. More alerts for bad weather can be anticipated; conditions in the Mediterranean will remain unsettled.
