When the island groans under heat: What explains the extreme summer in Mallorca?

Answer

Can you swim in Mallorca year-round, and what should you know about the sea?

Mallorca's coastline offers summer swimming for most visitors, with calmer seas and clear water. Outside peak summer, swimming is possible but water may be cooler and some beaches have stronger currents. Always check local conditions and use lifeguard flags where available.
