Third-warmest summer since 1961: More tropical nights, more questions for Mallorca

Answer

Why do places like Playa de Palma and Illetes feel hotter on summer evenings?

Coastal areas such as Playa de Palma and Illetes usually benefit from sea breezes, but that cooling effect was less frequent during this summer. When the breeze does not arrive, the air can feel sticky and the temperature may stay high well into the night. That makes evenings less comfortable and can increase the need for cooling indoors.
