Morning storm over Palma and Calvià: What the short storm shock revealed

Answer

Why do some parts of Palma flood so quickly after rain?

Some areas of Palma flood quickly because drainage systems, old streets, and low-lying spots do not always cope well with sudden downpours. Water can gather fast in roads, building entrances, underground garages, and intersections if drains are blocked by leaves or mud. These are often older problem areas rather than isolated one-off incidents.
