Orange alert in Mallorca: Why the rain exposes our weaknesses

Answer

Is it safe to drive in Mallorca during heavy rain?

Driving in Mallorca during heavy rain can be risky because roads may flood, visibility drops and aquaplaning can happen fast. Extra care is needed on low-lying roads, in town streets with poor drainage and on winding mountain routes. If the weather is severe, it is often better to delay non-essential journeys.
