The Aemet met agency reports that there was 300% more rainfall than normal in the Balearics in November. The weather station at the airport in Mahon recorded the most rain - 259 litres per square metre, the most since current records started in 1969. At the port weather station in Palma, there were 252 litres, also a record.
