MALLORCA TODAY - Weather Alcúdia and Pollensa 31 July 2012

Very much a repeat of yesterday, the weather settled, hot and sunny. 25.5 the local high at 08.30, rising to the low 30s, light breezes switching directions but southerly and easterly dominating. A similar pattern is set for the rest of the week.

The local met office has given its report for July, noting that temperatures, especially in the north, were slightly lower than normal but that the month has been particularly dry. The highest temperatures in the north were inland in Sa Pobla on 19 July (36.4) and coastal in Puerto Pollensa on 18 July (34.3). August is set to start with a light heatwave, which has already begun if Sa Pobla's 35 of yesterday is anything to go by, and is forecast to be dry, varying between periods of normal temperatures (around 27 or 28) and short bursts of higher temperatures. Chances of rain may increase in the second half of the month when colder air will combine with high sea temperatures in generating cloud, but such a development is pretty normal.

Afternoon update: Inland high of 34.9 (Sa Pobla), coastal high of 32.8. Warm. And a yellow advice for high temperatures tomorrow.
