Storm-force gusts, cold rain, orange alert: What the new storm reveals about Mallorca

Answer

How bad can storm winds get in Mallorca during an orange alert?

An orange alert in Mallorca can mean very strong, damaging gusts, especially along the coast and on exposed high ground. In the storm described, some stations recorded storm-force gusts, with the strongest values on the Serra d'Alfàbia and very strong winds in other parts of the island. Even in lower areas, the wind was strong enough to bring down branches and disturb traffic and outdoor areas.
