Answer

Why are sea rescues around Mallorca often more difficult in winter?

Winter sea rescues around Mallorca are often harder because conditions are less predictable and visibility can be poor. Fewer boats and fewer beachgoers also mean that people in trouble may be noticed later. When time is lost, survival chances can fall quickly, especially in cold water.
