A yellow heat warning is in force for the south of Mallorca on Monday from midday to 8pm, with temperatures expected to peak around 36°C. The day will be mostly sunny and breezy at times. After that, the heat should ease slightly, and further warnings look less likely this week.
What a yellow warning means
A yellow warning indicates that temperatures are high enough to pose a risk to people who are vulnerable or active outdoors, although they are not unusual for the time of year. It is a reminder to drink plenty of water, seek shade and avoid strenuous activity in the hottest hours.
