Feels Like 51.1°C in Sa Pobla: What Mallorca Really Needs Now

Answer

Are there plans for cooling refuges or shade in Mallorca's towns?

There is concern that binding plans for cool refuge points are missing, but proposals include establishing public cooling centers with water and shade and subsidizing mobile water stations for fields and construction sites. Short-term measures also point to heat-adapted working hours and clear communication of cooling options. Shade sails and street greening are seen as ways to improve microclimates.
