Storm 'Harry': Ferries canceled, islands struggle with wind and waves

Answer

How strong can waves get around Mallorca during a major storm?

During severe weather, wave heights off the Balearic coast can rise to several meters, and exposed areas may see even more extreme conditions. That is enough to disrupt ferry traffic, make ports dangerous, and create problems along promenades and harbors. Even when the rain is limited, the sea can still cause major travel disruption.
