Mallorca is on forest fire red alert after the Palma Met Office issued a warning this morning for high temperatures. The alert comes after parts of Greece and Italy have been devastated by forest fires over recent days.

The southern tip of Mallorca, close to the main holiday resorts of Palmanova, Santa Ponsa and Magalluf was on "extreme alert," according to the Met Office. The eastern sea board of Mallorca was on high alert. Ibiza and Minorca are also on high alert. The high temperatures of recent days have meant that island wooded areas are like a "tinder box," according to firefighters. But the Balearics are well equipped to deal with forest fires with planes, helicopters and seaplanes and obviously the fire brigade.
