Blai Bonet says in the prologue of The mahi-mahi: a myth of autumn, by Enric Massutí and Sebastià Vidal (Documenta Balear, 1997), that the dolphinfish is a long-awaited being. It does not arrive until the weather signals its time and it leaves when the weather announces the end of its presence, at the end of autumn. Few words describe so well the relationship between this fish and the sea's calendar.

The Balearic Islands were lit up last night by intense and constant lightning, amid a storm episode that affected different parts of the Islands and left over 100 incidents, according to data from the Emergency Coordination Center. The electrical activity left a spectacular sky full of lightning, as can be seen in the images recorded in Colonia de Sant Pere by geographer Miquel Salamanca. The phenomenon, however, is not exceptional at this time of year. According to him, it is a "very typical" pattern for the end of August in the Balearic Islands and the Mediterranean.
