Water scarcity, heat, shrinking beaches: Palma's wake-up call for urban planning

Answer

What climate changes is Palma likely to face by the middle of the century?

Palma is expected to experience many more very hot days, a higher average maximum temperature, drier rainfall, and a higher sea level. Very hot days could rise from about 15 today to around 62, and average maximum temperatures could increase by roughly four degrees; a medium sea level rise of about 24 centimeters could affect coastal areas. These changes could affect work, tourism and health unless adaptation measures are put in place.
