Answer

Why is Mallorca more difficult for rough sleepers in very hot weather?

Mallorca’s summer heat can be hard to manage even for people with a home, but it is much more dangerous for rough sleepers who have nowhere to cool down. Public discussions often focus on beaches, tourism or energy use, while the reality for people sleeping outdoors is less visible. Without coordinated support, the island’s heat becomes a daily health risk rather than just an inconvenience.
