Mallorca Bulletin

SUMMER TIME

Palma—Mallorca is facing a significant rise in temperatures over the next few days. Jorge Rodríguez, deputy spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) in the Balearic Islands, explains that maximum temperatures will be between 7 and 8ºC above the seasonal average, which typically ranges from 23º to 27ºC at this time of year. Rodríguez notes that temperatures will rise steadily each day, with today’s highs expected to range between 26º and 34ºC. He adds that by Sunday, some parts of the island could even reach 35ºC. This rise in temperatures is being caused by the arrival of a warm air mass at high altitude, combined 36ºC with areas of high pressure over the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The Aemet spokesperson clarifies that this is not a case of African air mass, nor can it be classified as a heatwave. For the latter to occur, temperatures must exceed 36ºC for three consecutive days at several weather stations across the island. A notable temperature increase is forecast for today with thermometers climbing to between 26ºC and 34ºC. These high temperatures are expected to persist into Saturday, and the deputy spokesperson for Aemet warns that on Sunday, they could rise even further, potentially reaching 35ºC. Seguir leyendo
