Answer

What does an orange weather alert mean in Mallorca during a storm?

An orange alert in Mallorca means the weather can become dangerous and people should take extra care. In a coastal storm, that can mean strong gusts, rough seas, dangerous currents and temporary closures along promenades or harbour areas. It is sensible to follow local authority advice and avoid the water’s edge.
