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.

Spring 2026—which will run from March 20 to June 21—will likely be warmer than usual in the Balearic Islands. This was announced on Thursday by the spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), Rubén del Campo, during the presentation of the winter climate report. According to the forecasts, there is approximately a 70% probability that the three-month period will have above-average temperatures. The Aemet delegation in the Islands explains that the average temperature for the April-June period is most likely to exceed 18°C, the value considered normal. The usual trend is for temperatures to rise gradually throughout spring, with the highest values ​​towards the end of the period.
