Answer
What would permanent summer time mean for Mallorca in everyday life?
Permanent summer time would keep Mallorca lighter for longer in the evening, which could support outdoor dining, promenade life and late events. The trade-off is that winter mornings would stay darker for longer, affecting school runs, commuting and early work shifts. For many people on the island, the change would feel helpful after sunset but less convenient before sunrise.
