Storm "Harry" batters the coasts – a reality check for Mallorca

Answer

How serious are storm warnings in Mallorca when strong winds and high waves are forecast?

Storm warnings in Mallorca should be taken seriously, especially along exposed coasts and in harbors. Strong gusts can push seawater over quays, promenades, and access roads, and large waves can make even familiar seaside areas unsafe. Local alerts from Aemet are a good signal to change plans and avoid waterfront areas.
