Answer

Why do streets flood so quickly in Mallorca during thunderstorms?

Streets in Mallorca can flood quickly because intense rain falls in a short time and drains, roadside ditches or stream beds may not cope well. In some places, blocked channels and low-lying roads make the problem worse. That is why even a short storm can cause water to collect fast in urban areas like Palma or Inca.
