Answer

What local problems can long periods of heat create in Mallorca?

Extended heat puts pressure on water and electricity use, especially when air conditioners run for longer and wells are used more intensely. It can also stress plants, worsen air quality at night, and create extra strain in areas with older infrastructure. In Mallorca, the impact is felt not only in homes but also in agriculture, public services, and daily routines.
