Short late summer — then a weather turnaround: What Mallorca needs to know now

Answer

What do farmers and winemakers in Mallorca watch during a late-summer rain spell?

Farmers and winemakers in areas such as Felanitx and Santanyí watch rainfall closely because the effect depends on how hard and how long it rains. Gentle rain can help, but heavy showers may cause erosion on dry slopes or affect young vines and freshly worked fields. For that reason, rainfall is not seen as automatically positive.
