However, the odd shower and possible storm can be expected on Saturday evening and during Sunday by which time the cold front will have started to move away. The relatively fine weather forecast for the Balearics will come as good news to the hundreds of thousands of tourists heading our way for Easter.
Those hotels which are open have reported occupancy of around 80 percent with bookings still coming in as the Balearics, along with the Canaries, is Spain's top destination this Easter. Balearic holiday sales in Britain have sold well. The latest industry figures from the UK show that holiday sales in general are up already this year and a further rise of as much as 10 percent is expected during the second quarter with Britons booking their summer holidays. Hotel bookings for this Easter are well up on last year with Pollensa, Capdepera and the Playa de Palma returning excellent reports.
According to Palma airport, passenger figures this Easter week are going to be the best for the past three years.
