It will be umbrellas rather than parasols which you will need in Mallorca on Sunday!

As we have reported the temperatures will fall quite dramatically this weekend with a top temperature of 27 degrees being forecast for Monday, 10 degrees cooler than today's forecast top temperature.

It must be remembered that the island goes on "heavy rain alert" from September 1. At this time of the year heavy rains are common. Locally it is known as the "Gota fria" or "Cold drop." So far this summer there have been two heat waves in Mallorca (both in July) and four on the mainland and it will go down on record as one of the hottest ever.
