Thunderstorms, Downpours, Cooling and Contrasts: Is Mallorca Ready for Summer Storms?

Answer

Can thunderstorms in Mallorca cause power cuts or drainage problems?

Yes, short but intense storms can put pressure on Mallorca’s drainage systems and sometimes lead to brief power outages. Streets with older drains or low-lying sections are especially vulnerable when rain falls very quickly. Strong lightning and wind can also create extra problems for balconies, terraces and construction sites.
