Finally cooler – Thunderstorms bring relief, but also questions for Mallorca's infrastructure

Answer

Why do thunderstorms in Mallorca often cool the island so quickly?

Short summer storms can cut temperatures very fast in Mallorca because they bring rain, cloud cover and cooler air with them. The change is often especially noticeable after a hot, humid day, when even a brief downpour feels like a reset. That cooling is welcome, but it can also come with flooding and slippery roads.
