Storms and heavy rain are expected to disrupt daily life in Manacor on Wednesday, as the city comes under an orange alert. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued warnings for hazardous conditions, including a yellow alert for dangerous coastal weather. Flooding and strong winds are expected to affect the city and the coast.
The worst weather is forecast to arrive early, with clouds thickening from 6:00 and rain picking up as the morning goes on. Showers may ease around midday, but heavier rain is expected again by evening, reaching up to 2 liters per square meter. Thunderstorms are likely in the first half of the day and could continue into the afternoon, before conditions begin to settle after 18:00.
AEMET says rainfall rates could reach up to 40 liters per square meter per hour. Hail and wind gusts of up to 90 km/h are also possible across Mallorca.
Temperatures will drop quickly, with highs barely reaching 32 degrees and lows falling to 18. Humidity will make it feel warmer, up to 35 degrees. Northeasterly winds will add to the unsettled weather, making outdoor plans riskier and possibly disrupting local transport and coastal activity.
On Thursday, clouds will linger, especially in the morning, with some clearing expected by midday. The maximum temperature will struggle to reach 28 degrees, and lows will stay close to Wednesday’s levels. Winds will shift to a lighter northerly breeze, bringing some relief from the previous day.
Friday looks less severe but still unsettled. Rain remains possible, though less likely, and clouds will come and go through the day. Temperatures will change little, with highs near 30 degrees and lows dropping to 15. Winds will calm further, coming from the east and staying gentle.
The orange alert for Mallorca is set to last from 10:00 to 21:00, while coastal areas remain under a yellow alert until midnight. The 112 Balearic Islands emergency service has raised its state of readiness across the archipelago because of the expected severe storms and heavy rainfall, as part of a regional civil protection response.
The weekend brings only partial improvement. Both Saturday and Sunday are expected to have periods of cloud cover, with highs around 30 degrees and lows near 17. Winds will stay light and easterly, but sudden showers remain possible. This unstable pattern is similar to weather reported earlier in other parts of Spain facing similar storms.
AEMET notes that these warnings are provisional and may change as the situation develops. For Manacor, the basic concern is heavy rain and thunderstorms, with coastal hazards adding to the risk for local infrastructure and emergency services. The sharp temperature drop and continuing instability show how unpredictable the current weather cycle is. Residents will need to follow official updates as the city faces this latest round of severe weather.
