July will bid farewell today in the Balearic Islands with winds and the possibility of some dry storms in certain parts of the islands. Palma's Met Office has warned that all this, combined with a lack of rainfall and several days of very high temperatures, has increased the risk of fires.

Aemet has otherwise announced a drop in temperatures in the Mediterranean area and in the southern part of the mainland, with the possibility of light and scattered showers.

A dry thunderstorm is when there is thunder and lightning but precipitation evaporates before reaching the ground.
