Answer

What should homeowners in Mallorca do before heavy rain?

Move items out of basements or garages if they could be damaged by water, and check that drains and gutters are clear. It is also sensible to secure outdoor objects and keep a torch, phone charger and waterproof clothing ready. Small preparations can reduce damage when rain arrives very suddenly.
