The Sant Llorenç flash flood of October 9, 2018, which caused 13 deaths, reaches its sixth anniversary this Friday with the bypass works still half-finished. The work, which began in April and involves an investment of nine million euros, aims to increase the capacity of the bridge over the Les Planes torrent and reduce the risk of overflowing.

The Balearic Islands will leave behind this Friday afternoon the episode of rainfall that has affected the Archipelago in recent days and face a weekend of stable weather and mild temperatures. This is forecast by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), which expects days of "good weather" both Saturday and Sunday as well as Monday, a holiday for the Day of the Pilar, although occasional rainfall may still occur in some spots.

The Balearic Islands are on orange alert due to the risk of storms and flooding ahead of an episode of instability that will persist over the next few days. Aemet and Civil Protection have warned of the possibility of locally heavy or very heavy downpours and flash floods in some parts of the Archipelago.

The rain has given a respite to Mallorca and Ibiza after a dawn of intense storms, the bulk of which discharged over the sea and did not cause any notable incidents. This was explained this Friday by the head of Emergencies, Aurelio Soto, after the meeting of the technical advisory committee.

The storm that has been hovering over the Balearic Islands since this Wednesday has lashed out this Thursday afternoon on the island of Ibiza, where it has left numerous incidents throughout its geography. Aemet has warned that, in addition to the showers, the instability structure could have caused very strong wind gusts, initially between 70 to 90 km/h, and regarding precipitation, more than 50 mm could accumulate in one hour.

The storm that arrived in the Balearic Islands this Wednesday has already left 154 incidents between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., the vast majority in Mallorca and related to fallen trees and flooding. Palma is, by far, the municipality that has concentrated the most incidents, with 51 alerts managed by the 112 emergency service.

The Balearic Islands reached a maximum temperature of 40.1 degrees in Llucmajor this Monday, an unprecedented figure that marks a new record for the month of September and, above all, a record never before reached outside of the summer quarter – June, July, and August – since meteorological records have been kept in the Islands.

Tossing and turning in bed, sheets clinging to your body, windows open without a breath of air coming in and fans running all night long. If you could barely sleep last night, it wasn't just a feeling: the Balearic Islands have experienced an infernal night, with temperatures that in some places did not drop below 30 degrees.

The Balearic Sea has registered the highest temperature for these dates on 25 of the 39 days between July 1 and August 8, according to data from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).

The Government will activate this Saturday the pre-alert phase of the Special Plan for Flood Risk (Inunbal), coinciding with the start of the period of greatest risk of isolated high-level depressions (dana) in the Islands.

Mallorca will experience an exceptional day this Wednesday, August 12, due to the total solar eclipse, an astronomical phenomenon that has not been seen in the Islands since 1905 and will not be repeated until well into the 22nd century. The forecast of a large influx to the main observation points has forced administrations to prepare a special plan that will affect mobility, access to natural spaces, and the operation of some roads, especially in the Serra de Tramuntana.

Mallorca has become a pilgrimage site to experience the eclipse. People from all over the world have bought flights to come to the island to see the astronomical phenomenon and the big question that arises is none other: why Mallorca, if it can be seen from many other places in the world?

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts a Wednesday, August 12th afternoon with stable weather and good visibility in the Balearic Islands, coinciding with the total solar eclipse. Current forecasts indicate few clouds and high temperatures, around 30 degrees at the time of the phenomenon.

Mallorca has become one of the most sought-after locations to observe the solar eclipse on August 12. Thousands of people will travel to the island to witness the astronomical phenomenon, while Majorcans eagerly await an event that has not occurred in the Archipelago for over a century. Flights with no availability, full hotels, and residents searching for the best spot to observe it. There is, however, a possibility that almost no one has foreseen: what if it cannot be seen from Mallorca after all?

The Balearic Sea continues to break temperature records. The oceanographic buoy located off Dragonera registered a temperature of 32.7 degrees Celsius at a depth of three meters this Thursday, an exceptional figure that could go down in history, according to data from Meteo de les Illes.

The month of July 2026 has been the warmest in the Balearic Islands since records began, with an average temperature of 28 degrees, 2.9 degrees above the climatic average. This is certified by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), which points out that it is the hottest July in the historical series started in 1961.

The eclipse has become a viral phenomenon in Mallorca and the question all residents are asking themselves is the same: from where will I be able to see it? To resolve these doubts, they have created the application Horitzó 2026, a tool that allows you to know how the solar eclipse will be seen from all over the island.

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.
