Tropical nights in Mallorca at the end of May – How are we preparing for warmer nights?

Answer

What was the weather like in Palma during the warm nights in Mallorca?

In Palma, the city centre stayed warm enough that people were still sitting outside late at night, including around Plaça de Cort and the Passeig de Born. The air movement was weak, which made the streets feel more stifling than the thermometer alone suggests. Urban surfaces such as roads and buildings can hold onto heat well into the night.
