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

Answer

Why did it feel much colder in Mallorca during the storm?

A fast-moving low-pressure system can bring a sharp drop in temperature to Mallorca, especially when cold air arrives with rain and wind. In the storm described, the air cooled noticeably and even snow fell at the Monnàber Tunnel, which shows how sharp the temperature contrast was. That kind of change can make the weather feel more severe than the numbers suggest.
