Thunderstorms, Downpours, Cooling and Contrasts: Is Mallorca Ready for Summer Storms?

Answer

Is it still safe to drive in Mallorca during a summer storm?

Driving can be manageable, but Mallorca roads become much more hazardous during sudden downpours. Aquaplaning, reduced visibility and standing water are the main risks, especially on faster roads and in low-lying areas. Slower speeds, extra distance and a bit of patience are the safest approach when the rain starts falling hard.
