Mallorca faces one of the hottest days of the summer this Sunday. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated a yellow alert for high temperatures in the south and interior of the island, where thermometers could reach 39 degrees.

Palma Airport has registered delays since early this Thursday, July 9th, due to fog banks that have risen over the Bay of Palma. According to Aena information, delays have been recorded in both departures and arrivals, and in some cases exceed two hours.

The Directorate General of Emergencies maintains the yellow alert for high temperatures in Mallorca and the Pitiüses Islands. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) activates the alert at midday in Mallorca: the temperature could reach 36ºC in the north and northeast of the island, while inland the maximum will be 37ºC. Regarding Ibiza and Formentera, temperatures can reach 36ºC. The warning will remain in effect until 7:00 PM. Starting Tuesday, it extends to Menorca, with highs of 36ºC, and the alert will remain active in the rest of the islands in the following days.

The heat continues to grip the Balearic Islands, and this Saturday Mallorca once again is the only island in the Archipelago with active alerts for high temperatures. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) maintains a yellow alert in the interior and south of the island, where thermometers could reach up to 37 degrees.

The unknown about whether the sky will be clear for the total solar eclipse that will occur in just two months cannot begin to be resolved until "the trend" is seen a week before, points out in an interview with EFE the doctor in Physical Sciences and meteorologist Mar Gómez, who warns that August is a hot month. "I would love to give you an answer about the weather forecast for that day, but the truth is we don't know, because it is reliable a few days in advance," explained the meteorological director ofeltiempo.es.

The Government presented this Wednesday a new action guide for educational centers that establishes how situations arising from adverse weather phenomena such as heavy rainfall, episodes of drought, heat waves, strong winds, and floods should be managed. The document was presented by the Minister of the Presidency, Coordination of Government Action and Local Cooperation, Antònia Estarellas, and the Minister of Education and Universities, Antoni Vera. As they explained, the new tool is born with the aim of homogenizing criteria and providing greater security to management teams in emergency situations.

Following the accident registered this Wednesday, May 13, on the UIB campus, the institution has decided to intensify the review plan for all campus buildings. The measure has been taken after a glass window detached due to a gust of wind and fell into a classroom in the Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos building while class was in session, causing a student to be injured. The review has been prioritized especially in the buildings where the university entrance exams will be held: Gaspar M. de Jovellanos, Guillem Cifre de Colonya, and Antoni M. Alcover i Sureda.

The trace left by the continuous winter storms has not been erased in Menorca. The imprint is still present, months later, in various parts of the Menorcan coastline and, more seriously, with the season having already begun.

The heavy rain this Friday in Palma has caused a water fountain on the promenade at the height of the Avenidas to burst. The power of the water expelled by the leak in the pipe simulates a geyser. The problem, in addition to the waste of water it entails, is that the liquid that shoots out of the water fountain expels dirty water and the smell that emanates causes residents to have to move away from the area.

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts variable spring-like weather for this weekend in the Balearic Islands. According to its report, rain is expected until Saturday midday, with a gradual improvement thereafter. On Sunday, temperatures are expected to rise and the rain to dissipate.

This April has been the fourth warmest recorded in the Balearic Islands since 1961, with an average temperature of 15.9 °C and an anomaly of +1.3 °C compared to usual values, according to the Balearic territorial center of the State Meteorological Agency.

After a few days with almost summer-like temperatures, the weather took a radical turn this Sunday in Mallorca. The arrival of an Atlantic front has caused a notable drop in thermometers, strong winds, and precipitation, leaving behind the spring-like atmosphere of recent days.

112 Emergency Services activated the orange alert this Saturday for coastal phenomena in Mallorca and Menorca, with waves that could reach 12 meters in height and wind gusts of up to 90 km/h.

The State Meteorological Agency has activated a orange alert in Menorca and in the northeast of Mallorca due to strong gusts of wind and waves that could reach ten meters in height. The most affected area will be the coast of Menorca with force seven gusts of wind that could exceed 70 km per hour. In the case of Mallorca, wind gusts of 60 km/h and waves of up to eight meters are expected on the north and northeast coast of the island.

Sunday will be marked by strong winds and rough seas across much of the Balearic Islands. According to the forecast from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), the day will begin with intervals of clouds and showers with thunderstorms that could be locally heavy and accompanied by light rain until morning, especially in Menorca and northern Mallorca. As the day progresses, the sky will tend to clear in the Pitiusas Islands, where a more stable and partly cloudy atmosphere is expected by evening. The snow level will be around 1,000 meters and will rise throughout the day. Nighttime temperatures have dropped significantly, while daytime temperatures will also experience a slight decrease. But the main feature of the day will be the north and northwest wind, which will blow moderately to strongly and occasionally very strongly, especially in Menorca.

Palma Airport is experiencing numerous delays due to fog, according to information provided by Aena. After 8 p.m., 16 departing and 16 arriving flights were delayed, and around 6 p.m., this number had risen to 31 arrivals and 9 departures. The airports of Menorca and Ibiza did not register any delays. So far, no flights have been canceled for these reasons. It should be noted that the Balearic Islands Emergency Service (112) activated a yellow alert for fog in Mallorca this Monday. The activation, as reported by the Emergency Service on its social media account, triggers the zero severity level (IG-0) of the Meteobal Plan.

Recent storms have washed away almost all the sand from the most popular beaches on Menorca's south coast. The force of the wind and the pounding waves have completely devastated the beaches of Binigaus, Sant Tomàs, and Sant Adeodat, in the municipality of Migjorn Gran, as well as the first stretch of Son Bou (Alaior), the island's longest beach. In the case of Son Bou, the remaining almost two and a half kilometers of coastline are now reduced to just a third of their original dune system. This significant reduction in sand has sparked concern among the affected municipalities just over two months before the official start of the tourist season.

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) issued an orange alert for most of the Balearic coast due to waves that can occasionally reach 10 meters in height and declared a yellow alert in the interior of the archipelago due to southwest winds of 80 kilometers per hour.
