When Clouds Fill the City: Why Palma Was in Traffic Chaos on Friday

Answer

Why can cloudy weather cause traffic jams in Palma?

In Palma, even a short change in weather can shift many people from the beach and promenade into the city centre at the same time. That sudden extra demand quickly fills central car parks and puts pressure on narrow streets and access roads. The result is slower traffic, queues and delays around the busiest parts of the city.
