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

Answer

What is the difference between a measured temperature and a felt temperature during Mallorca heatwaves?

Humidity can make heat feel much stronger; in Sa Pobla, a felt temperature of 51.1°C was recorded while the thermometer showed 36.9°C, with humidity around 60%. Campos also showed high heat with a feel of 48°C and a max of 39.2°C. In Palma, night temperatures stayed high, not dropping below 27.7°C in Portopí, with morning humidity well above 90%. This helps explain why heat feels constant and burdensome.
