Answer

Is it still safe to swim in Mallorca when the sea is very warm?

Warm sea water around Mallorca does not automatically make swimming unsafe, but it can be a sign of broader environmental stress. Very high temperatures can go along with marine heatwaves, algae growth or lower oxygen levels in some conditions. Swimmers should pay attention to local notices from beach operators or authorities, especially when unusual water quality or marine warnings are issued.
