Answer
How much did the recent Mallorca storms cool the island, and is the relief likely to last?
The showers lowered peak temperatures to around 31 degrees in many places after several days of near 40 degrees. The relief is only temporary, and the underlying pressures—very warm seas, water use, and infrastructure strain—still matter for residents and visitors. Preparedness and clear guidance remain essential.
