Sudden weather change in Mallorca: heat, storms — is the island prepared?

Answer

Are Mallorca roads and basements at risk during sudden thunderstorms?

Yes, short and intense showers can quickly overwhelm drainage in some areas of Mallorca, especially where gutters are blocked or systems are older. That can lead to puddles on small streets and water entering basements. Parking cars away from known problem spots and keeping drains clear can help reduce damage.
