Once or twice a year, there is fog to be found on Mallorca’s roads. Years ago, some friends of ours came to visit, flying in from Germany. Palma International airport […]
Solar Activity

Hail and Thunder
On the weather front, let me tell you that I witnessed some beautiful cloud formations and a rather splendid sunset last night. Shortly after taking the above photo near Inca, […]
The Year of the Big Snow in Mallorca
Mallorca is back on Yellow alert today with more snow expected in the Tramuntana mountain range, but also at sea level from around lunchtime today. Temperatures will be below zero […]
