Sunshine

When the sun does not shine , Mallorca does not have a problem. A certain part of the visitors have. Mallorca is on the same level as the Costa Brava where the weather is not the same as in more southern parts of the mainland. There has always been a turning of the weather end of August beginning of September in Mallorca. When it rains it does , in most cases stop after an hour or so. We have been coming to Malloorca since late eighties and when the weather is "not good" there a lot of things to do: walks ,jogging, visiting bodega's, longer lunches, drive off to another part of the island, markets and towns etc etc. , What's the problem ?

Mel B is so right about mr Moore keep writing Mel B.

Well said Ricky. This is yet another rehashed editorial that Mr. Moore trots out every so often. I doubt this will be published as any comment I make about Mr. Moore’s editorial prowess is vetoed.

Might make tourists and locals alike think more seriously about climate change and acting upon it, by insisting local and national politicians, business leaders, community organisations and all individuals do their bit to help and understand why we all have to contribute because the consequences will affect us all. Come sun, rain,, tornadoes and risagas! Having your holiday spoilt by bad weather is only the tip of the ( melting very fast ) iceberg.

The point of an editorial is to provide an informed and comprehensive view of a problem, along with a solution, albeit biased to your view. Which is fine. So, Jason, what’s your solution to your obvious and futile point here? Are you going to play God? Are you going to invent a weather machine?

There are comatose Inuits in Alaska who know that, come middle'ish September in Mallorca, one should pack his or her macintosh and, at least, a smathering of wooly.
