A mostly sunny day forecast for Mallorca on Wednesday. Overnight into Thursday there could be the odd thunderstorm, with the Thursday outlook otherwise looking reasonable at present. More possibility of thunderstorms on Friday.

The yellow alert for high winds (Tramuntana and north/northeast) is due to end at 6am on Wednesday. The alert for the coasts (also Tramuntana and north/northeast) is effective until 6am, but there is another one for the Tramuntana from 3pm to 9pm; waves of three metres. Gusts overnight Monday were pretty strong, the fiercest having been 112 km/h in Cabrera; heading towards hurricane force but not that uncommon in exposed places like Cabrera or on the mountain tops.

Temperatures are coming down from the highs of Monday - 25.6C in Pollensa was the top temperature - the Tuesday highs noted below having all been overnight Monday. By the weekend, if not before, they will be below normal for the time of year. Quite strong winds from the north and northeast are expected on Friday and Saturday.
