We have a bright, sunny day forecast for Sunday. Light winds and daytime temperatures around normal. The front that swept across the island on Saturday did produce some very heavy rain in the Tramuntana - 51 litres per square metre in Lluc was the heaviest. The whole island saw some rain. As for the so-called beast from the east, overnight temperatures Friday into Saturday didn't drop below five degrees anywhere. The lows on the Serra Alfabia and at Son Torrella noted below were recorded at 7.30pm and 7pm Saturday, respectively. There was no snowfall.

Alberto Darder Rosell, the meteorologist responsible for the Puig Major weather station and who is the one who posts many of the photos and videos of snow in the mountains, when there is some, commented on this beast from the east four days ago: "Seriously? Beast from the east. Please, this predicted 'beast' won't even come close to the real (but aborted) beast in 2018."

The outlook for the coming week is currently fine until Wednesday, but there looks as if there may be some weather on Thursday.
