Responsible for this content: Frank Menze

Mallorca is set for largely clear skies on Saturday, 29 August 2026, but Menorca remains under an orange warning for rissagas, often called mini-tsunamis. Spain’s State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) says highs could top 35ºC in parts of Mallorca. On the island’s east coast, daytime temperatures will change little or may dip.

Overnight lows are expected to fall across the Balearics. Tropical nights, when temperatures do not drop below 20ºC, are forecast on the islands. North and easterly winds will dominate across the Balearics, with coastal breezes also expected.
