Strong storms and first floods in Mallorca
The intense rain has begun to leave the first problems on the island on a day marked by the orange alert
PalmaThe storms have already begun to affect Mallorca this Wednesday and the rain is falling with intensity in several parts of the island. The first showers have left accumulations of water and the precipitation may continue to gain strength during the coming hours.
The situation is especially complicated because the downpours are very intense and are concentrated in a short time, a fact that can cause localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas, torrents, and points where water has difficulty draining. In some places, the precipitation is accompanied by strong wind and stormy activity.
AEMET maintains the orange warning for rain and storms and expects that up to 40 liters per square meter could accumulate in one hour. There is also a possibility of hail and strong wind gusts.
The authorities ask to exercise extreme caution, especially on the roads, and to avoid crossing flooded areas or approaching torrents and areas susceptible to accumulating water.
