Answer

When are waterspouts most likely to happen around Mallorca?

Waterspouts are more likely in late summer and early autumn, when the sea still holds warmth but cooler air masses start moving in. That mix can create unstable weather over the water. In Mallorca, this is one reason coastal conditions can change quickly even on a calm-looking morning.
