Mallorca is facing this Wednesday the peak of the second heat wave of this summer and the whole island is on high temperature alert, as 41º in the shade is expected in some areas. The territorial delegation of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) in the Balearic Islands has activated orange warning for high temperatures in the interior, south, the Serra de Tramuntana, north and northeast; in the east the maximum temperatures will be high but not so high, as it is estimated that they will not exceed 38º.
In view of this situation, it is recommended to avoid exposure to the sun in the central hours of the day, as well as sports or activities that require effort outdoors, as heat stroke may occur. It is also advisable to drink plenty of water and wear cool clothing, especially in the case of the elderly and children, who are the most vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
This past Tuesday, July 30, was also very hot and exceeded 40 degrees in several municipalities, such as Sa Pobla or Porreres; it is the second day of the summer of 2024 that these thermal values are reached. If the forecasts are fulfilled, they could be exceeded this Wednesday, the last day of July, as the thermometers are expected to reach 41º in some areas.
Last night was also very hot, especially in coastal areas. It is worth noting that the mercury has not dropped below 25º in several points, which is known as a torrid night. In many other municipalities the minimum temperatures have not dropped below 20º, so the nights have been tropical. According to experts, when the thermometer does not drop below 20º, it is difficult to fall asleep.
Slight drop in temperatures
The month of August will begin with a slight drop in temperatures, but they will still be very high, so the island will remain immersed in the heat wave. The weather forecast in Mallorca for this Thursday also announces cloudy or clear skies. In addition, the wind will blow lightly variable and coastal breezes.
