Orange Alert: How Mallorca Is Preparing for a Wet Late Summer

Answer

Which parts of Mallorca are most vulnerable to sudden rain and runoff?

Areas near barrancos, torrents and steep slopes are usually the most vulnerable because water can move through them very quickly. That includes parts of the countryside, hillside roads and some village streets where drainage is limited. In these places, even a brief downpour can create fast runoff and local flooding.
