Answer
Will the moon or clouds affect Perseid viewing in Mallorca?
Yes, both can make a big difference. A bright moon can wash out many of the fainter meteors, and clouds can block the sky completely. If the sky is clear and the moon is not too strong, your chances of seeing more shooting stars improve a lot.
