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

Answer

What happens in Palma during a short but intense morning storm?

A brief storm in Palma can quickly turn streets into streams, delay traffic, and cause temporary flooding in low-lying areas. Even when the rain does not last long, fallen branches, blocked drains, and slippery roads can create problems across the city. Son Sant Joan airport and public transport may also be affected if access roads or operations slow down.
