Storm 'Emilia' on the way: How well prepared is Mallorca?

Answer

How prepared is Mallorca for heavy rain and storms?

Mallorca is used to unsettled weather, but heavy rain can still expose weak points. The main risks are overloaded drains, blocked torrents, and flooding in low-lying streets or older neighbourhoods. The island usually manages routine rain well, but intense showers need quick local action and clear warnings.
