Dear friends,

As the year comes to a close, we bring you the final newsletter of 2024. We want to take this moment to thank all our subscribers for being with us throughout the year and to wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year! 

Looking ahead to the weekend, the weather promises to be settled and sunny, with just a bit of cloud expected on Friday in northern areas—perhaps accompanied by a touch of mist or fog. Rain is a slight possibility for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, but the probability remains low.

Daytime temperatures will hold steady over the next few days, but overnight lows will drop to zero or below in typically colder spots like parts of the Tramuntana, the interior, Campos, the university, and the airport. Meanwhile, milder overnight temperatures have been observed in other areas—12°C in Capdepera, 9°C in Portocolom, 8°C in Puerto Pollensa, and 6°C in Puerto Soller.

Once again, thank you for your continued support, and here’s to a bright and successful 2025! Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the New Year celebrations.
