Answer
How bad can traffic get in Palma after a rain warning?
Traffic can slow down sharply, especially around the Avingudes, Paseo Mallorca, and the approaches to the old town. Parking garages fill quickly, buses lose time in congestion, and intersections may need manual traffic control. Even a short weather shift can create delays that feel much bigger than expected.
