It didn't reach the 35C that Aemet had been suggesting for the past week, but on Saturday there were records at weather stations for the highest temperatures registered in April. One of these might seem surprising - Lluc up in the mountains with 32.7C. Less so was Llucmajor with 33.7C. These eclipsed previous records by several degrees - Lluc 28.1 in 2000 and Llucmajor 29.6 in 2012.
There was rather more cloud around on Saturday than had been forecast, certainly in the morning. There were also some drops of rain, some of it muddy rain, and it seems likely that there will be far more rain on Sunday and on Monday. There is a fairly high probability of rain in the morning pretty much everywhere, but there should also be some sun. Generally improving in the afternoon. As to Monday, the current forecast indicates higher risks of rain for much of the island; thunderstorms possible.
For the rest of the week, things look ok. Plenty of sun, and temperatures climbing as the week progresses.
