Wednesday's weather in Mallorca - more alerts for heavy rain
By Majorca Daily Bulletin reporter

Another yellow alert for heavy rain on Wednesday, this one (as of Tuesday at 7.30pm) confined to the south of Mallorca from 12 noon to 6pm. Thunderstorms possible as well as some hail.

There is a high probability of rain, especially in the afternoon, for most of the island. The lowest probabilities are for the north and Tramuntana coastal areas. Expected to be generally quite sunny in the morning, but with cloud gathering in the afternoon before clearing by the evening.

The alert for Wednesday could be widened. On Tuesday, an alert was raised for the south, but there was barely any rain.

Nevertheless, for Thursday Aemet has already issued yellow alerts for rain and thunderstorms for the south and the interior from noon until 6pm. Alerts for later in the week seem pretty much inevitable, as the general pattern shows no sign of changing.
