MALLORCA TODAY - Weather Alcúdia and Pollensa 21 October 2011

A gloomy morning with some heavy cloud though no rain. Brightening up later, but the islands have been put on a general yellow alert as of today, even though generalised rain is not anticipated until the start of next week. There is the possibility of localised storms from today, and at some stage over the next days the possibility of a damaging weather event (placed at between 20 and 40% possibility).


Afternoon update: Some sunny periods but heavy clouds back by later afternoon. No rain, but the sky looks as though there should be. Temperatures only at 18 or 19 degrees today. The met office, reporting that October has been warmer and drier than normal, says that the rest of the autumn is likely to now be wetter than usual and marked by unstable weather patterns.
