Heavy Downpour on Ibiza – Floodwaters, Damage and the Question of Preparedness

Answer

When is heavy rain in Mallorca most likely to cause flooding?

Flooding is most likely when intense rain falls in a short period, especially in low-lying streets, underground garages, and areas where drainage is already under pressure. In Mallorca, the risk is higher in places with poor runoff or where stormwater systems cannot handle a sudden surge. Even a short storm can cause serious local flooding if the rain is strong enough.
