Answer

When is water scarcity most likely to affect Mallorca?

Water scarcity tends to become more noticeable during the hottest and driest parts of the year, especially when tourism is also high. In Sóller, September already shows how quickly pressure can build if demand stays strong. The risk is highest when rainfall has been limited for a long period and reserves are not recovering.
