Answer

Can warmer sea temperatures cause heavier rain in Mallorca?

They can, because warmer seawater holds more energy and moisture. When the atmosphere is ready for it, that extra moisture can contribute to very intense rainfall over Mallorca and the wider Mediterranean. The result is not guaranteed every time, but the chance of extreme rain events is increasing.
