When Clouds Fill the City: Why Palma Was in Traffic Chaos on Friday

Answer

Does cloudy weather in Mallorca make it less suitable for the beach?

Not necessarily, but it often changes how people use the day. A cloudy sky can make the beach less attractive for some visitors, who then head into Palma instead of staying on the promenade. That does not always mean bad weather for everyone, but it can shift crowds very quickly.
