Night Storm Hits Andratx and Calvià – Are We Really Prepared?
Why Mallorca Floods So Quickly in Storms
Blocked drains, low roads and old drainage systems can turn short Mallorca storms into local flooding.
Published: April 21, 2026
Answer
Why do storms in Mallorca often cause flooding even after a short night of rain?
Flooding often starts when drains and gullies are already blocked by leaves, litter and other debris. In Mallorca, lower-lying roads and older drainage systems can struggle when rain falls fast and wind pushes more water into exposed areas. That is why even a short but intense storm can lead to standing water and local flooding.
