A partly cloudy day expected, especially in some central and southern areas of Mallorca. Note that the UV rating is now up to ten.

Cloud expected to build up everywhere by the evening, the probability of rain overnight and into Thursday having risen to 100%.

There's still no suggestion that rain will be particularly heavy. If there is rain, it could be muddy. The dust cloud from Africa was mostly to the east of the Balearics on Tuesday, but on Tuesday afternoon (6pm) the sky does point to dust in suspension in the atmosphere.

There is an amber alert for 'rissaga' in Menorca on both Wednesday and Thursday. This is the meteotsunami that is not uncommon during the summer months. Mallorca may just be affected as well, but there is no alert for the coasts.

As suggested in yesterday's report, there were 'tropical' nights for much of Mallorca overnight on Monday. The minimum in Portopi (Palma) was 22.8C, then 21.9 in Colonia Sant Pere. A repeat is likely on Tuesday night.
