STRONG STORMS MALLORCA has been on yellow alert due to the risk of heavy rains and storms causing flooding. During the early hours of Friday, May 20, the intense rainfall ‐ in some parts of the island more than 60 litres per square metre were reg‐ istered ‐ caused hundreds of inci‐
dents, as reported by the 112 Emer‐ gency Service through their ac‐ counts on social media. Specifically, in Mallorca 116 inci‐ dents were dealt with, 78 of them in Palma, 15 in Marratxi and five in Capdepera. Most of the incidents managed were due to street,
ground and local flooding. The State Meteorological Agency predicts that storms and rains will continue, especially in Menorca and Formentera, which could leave up to 20 litres per square metre, which is why the yellow warning remains active.
