Eastern areas may be fairly cloudy on Wednesday. The rest of the island should have good amounts of sun with some high cloud. No rain is forecast.

It will be a windy Sant Antoni Day. There is a yellow alert for high winds for the whole of Mallorca from Wednesday midday to midnight - gusts to 70 km/h - and a yellow alert for the coasts for the same hours (waves up to three metres). These alerts will remain in place until at least midday on Thursday.

Colder weather that had been forecast looks as if it will now arrive on Saturday rather than Friday, but Friday's forecast for the whole island is otherwise currently poor. The wind, expected to shift direction and come from the east, will ease, but rain is likely for the whole day, with thunderstorms possible during the second half of the day. As things stand, therefore, the prospects for Palma's Sant Sebastià concerts on Friday night aren't that good.
