Ma-15 closed at Sant Llorenç: Who bears the time loss — and is the protection adequate?

Answer

What is the weather risk behind the flood works on the Ma-15 in Mallorca?

The concern is that warmer sea temperatures can contribute to stronger storms in late summer and early autumn. In Mallorca, that makes flood protection more important, especially in places where streams can overflow quickly. The Ma-15 works are meant to prepare for that kind of heavy rain.
