Friday isn't looking good. Weather stations are predicting rain and thunderstorms for the whole island for the whole of the day. However, Aemet weather alerts are at present yellow for rain and thunderstorms only for the Tramuntana and north/northeast and from 6pm to midnight.

There may be some sun during the day, but it will be mostly cloudy, and the wind from the north is due to strengthen by the evening. There isn't currently an alert for high wind but there is a yellow alert for rough seas. This is from 9pm to midnight and applies to the whole of Mallorca except the east coast.

It is just possible that Kings celebrations on Friday evening will be affected. Any notifications to this effect will no doubt be made on Friday.

The stormy conditions are forecast to continue into Saturday morning. High winds are likely to persist until Sunday.
