Answer

Is it safe to swim in Mallorca when there is a storm warning?

Swimming is not recommended when Mallorca is under a storm warning, especially near exposed coasts, ports or rocky areas. Strong waves and currents can change quickly and make rescue difficult. Even calm-looking water can be unsafe during rough-sea conditions.
