Summer kicks off with high temperatures

The first thing we all check before the weekend arrives is what the weather will be like.

That’s why, on Passion for the Sea, in collaboration with Àngel Muñoz, creator of Meteo de les Illes, we bring you the weekly weather forecast every Friday so you can plan ahead and enjoy the sea with all the necessary information.

The Balearic Islands are preparing for a midsummer weekend, with exceptionally high temperatures and somewhat rougher sea conditions due to the influence of easterly winds. Friday, June 19th will be marked by a rise in temperatures, while winds will blow between light and moderate, with occasional sea breezes in Mallorca and Ibiza.

Regarding sea conditions, an increase in wave activity is expected in areas most exposed to the easterly (Levante) wind, where waves could exceed half a meter in height.

Heat will be the main feature over the weekend. Forecasts point to temperatures exceeding 30°C in many coastal areas on both Saturday, June 20th, and Sunday, June 21st. Inland areas will be even hotter, with highs potentially ranging between 35°C and 36°C, and reaching up to 37°C in some localized spots.

The highest temperatures will be recorded in areas less exposed to the wind, where limited air circulation will favor greater heat buildup. In addition, sea surface temperatures already above 25°C will contribute to sustaining high thermal values throughout much of the day.

For this reason, from Passion for the Sea, we recommend taking precautions during outdoor activities and always checking the weather forecast before heading out to sea.
