Answer

How bad was the storm in Palma and why were so many places closed?

Palma was hit by an orange weather alert, with heavy rain and strong gusts that led the city to close parks and cancel outdoor markets. The main reason was safety, since storm conditions can quickly create flooding, falling branches and difficult travel conditions. Short-term closures are common in Mallorca when the weather becomes unstable very quickly.
