Practical heat solutions for Mallorca’s towns

In the short term, municipalities should set heat-adapted working hours and establish cooling centers with water and shade, plus mobile water stations for fields and construction sites. In the medium term, street greening and shade sails in cities like Palma can improve microclimates, along with white roofs and greened façades. In the long term, reforms include heat-aware agricultural support, modern irrigation, better insulation in old buildings, and energy infrastructure to handle peak loads.
