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

Answer

How does heavy rain affect driving in Mallorca?

Driving becomes more difficult when visibility drops and roads get slippery, especially on winding island routes. Mud, runoff and sudden standing water can increase the risk of accidents, so it is wise to slow down, leave extra distance and avoid unnecessary travel during the worst of the rain. In some areas, local detours may be the safer option.
