Answer

Is it safe to drive in Palma after heavy rain?

Driving in Palma after heavy rain can be risky if streets are flooded, drains are blocked or visibility is poor. Low-lying roads and underpasses can fill up very quickly, so it is best to wait until conditions improve if possible. If you must drive, slow down and avoid any road that looks waterlogged.
