Mallorca is under alert for rain and thunderstorms<\/strong> ahead of several periods of unstable weather forecast between Thursday 1 and Saturday 3 October<\/strong>. Emerg\u00e8ncies<\/strong> has activated an orange alert (IG-1) for rain<\/strong> and a yellow alert (IG-0) for thunderstorms<\/strong> and is urging the public to take precautions due to the possibility of heavy rainfall and accumulations of water.<\/p>\n

The Technical Advisory Committee of the Meteobal Plan met on Thursday to assess the situation in view of the forecast of adverse weather conditions. The Direcci\u00f3 General d\u2019Emerg\u00e8ncies i Interior<\/strong> recommends following updates to AEMET warnings and particularly avoiding torrents, low-lying areas and other places at risk of flooding<\/strong>.

Rain warning in Mallorca on Thursday 1 October<\/h2>\n

The first episode is forecast for the afternoon and evening of Thursday 1 October<\/strong>, when rainfall could reach 30 litres per square metre in one hour<\/strong> in Mallorca.<\/p>\n

AEMET is maintaining a yellow warning<\/strong> across much of the island and has raised it to orange in southern Mallorca<\/strong>. Rainfall exceeding 30 litres per square metre in one hour is not expected in this area, but its characteristics mean that this amount falling over a short period could have a greater impact.<\/p>\n

The thunderstorms could also bring intense lightning activity and hail<\/strong>, although they are not expected to be accompanied by strong wind gusts.<\/p>\n

Friday 2: warnings in the Serra de Tramuntana and southern Mallorca<\/h2>\n

A new episode will begin during the early hours of Friday 2 October<\/strong>, with rain and thunderstorms arriving from the Spanish mainland. The rainfall will initially affect Eivissa and Formentera and could subsequently reach northern and southern Mallorca with less intensity.<\/p>\n

AEMET has activated a yellow warning for rain and thunderstorms in the Serra de Tramuntana and southern Mallorca between 10:00 and 20:00<\/strong> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Developments will depend on the movement of the rainfall, as there is a high probability that a significant proportion of the rain and thunderstorms will occur over the sea.<\/p>\n

Saturday 3: orange warning in central Mallorca<\/h2>\n

A third episode is forecast for Saturday 3 October<\/strong> and could bring rain across Mallorca. The heaviest rainfall is initially expected in central Mallorca during the middle of the day<\/strong>, where rainfall could exceed 30 litres per square metre in one hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The forecast points to an orange warning for rain and thunderstorms in central Mallorca<\/strong> and a yellow warning for the same conditions across the rest of the island<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

AEMET also forecasts that the unsettled weather could continue into next week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Emerg\u00e8ncies urges caution due to heavy rain<\/h2>\n

Given the risk of heavy rainfall and localised accumulations of water, Emerg\u00e8ncies is urging extreme caution<\/strong> and recommends:<\/p>\n
