Answer

When is turbulence more common around Mallorca?

Turbulence can be more common around Mallorca when local storm cells and downdrafts develop, especially in late summer and autumn. Weather over the Balearics can change quickly, so even a routine approach to Palma may become rough. That does not mean every flight is affected, but it does make awareness and preparation important.
