Answer

Is it safe to go swimming in Mallorca during a thunderstorm warning?

It is safer to stay out of the water when a thunderstorm warning is active in Mallorca. Lightning, rougher conditions, and sudden changes in wind can make beaches and open water risky very quickly. Lifeguards may also raise warning flags or close access points during unstable weather.
