10,000 Lightning Strikes over Mallorca: What the Summer Storm Reveals

Answer

What was the impact of the storm in Palma and the west of Mallorca?

Palma and the west of Mallorca were comparatively calm during the storm, while the north and parts of the east were more affected. That kind of split is typical on the island, where one area can get heavy rain and another only see cloudy skies or light showers. It is one reason local forecasts matter so much in Mallorca.
