Ozone Alarm 2025 in the Balearic Islands: Heat, Traffic and the Question of Effective Countermeasures

Answer

Is it still safe to swim or go to the beach in Mallorca when ozone is high?

Swimming itself is usually not the main issue, but the journey to the beach and time spent in the sun can be tiring on very hot, polluted days. If ozone levels are high, it is better to avoid long exposures during peak heat and to watch for symptoms such as burning eyes or coughing. People with respiratory conditions may want to choose quieter, less crowded times of day.
