Mallorca rain tops normal as Spain faces 23% shortfall
Mallorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands, has had more rain than usual across much of the island since 1 October, especially in the west. Spain as a whole is 23% below normal for the same period. Figures from the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), reported on 13 November, put the national total at 79 litres per square metre, against the usual 102 litres per square metre.
The Balearic Islands do not share one pattern: Eivissa is also above normal, while Menorca is below. On Mallorca, the west shows the clearest excess over its usual rainfall.
Rain from 4 to 10 November eased the shortfall in western mainland Spain. Totals now exceed normal in parts of western Castile and León and northern Extremadura. Galicia and western Andalusia still have the most marked deficits.
