Dear friends,

This week has brought us a taste of spring warmth, with a particularly balmy Thursday reaching 24°C and much of Mallorca basking in temperatures of 20°C or above. Friday promises similar sunny conditions, thanks to southern and southwestern breezes keeping the warm air flowing.

As for the weekend, Storm Éowyn isn’t expected to be a concern for Mallorca, though the skies may turn partly cloudy with a slight chance of rain overnight on Sunday. Looking ahead, however, weather stations are forecasting a shift—rain and stronger winds could arrive on Monday, with a marked drop in temperatures by Wednesday. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
