Manacor is preparing for a day of intense heat. The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has activated the yellow alert for this Friday due to maximum temperatures, which will reach 38 degrees. The minimum will be 21 degrees, so the nights will also be warm.
The sky will be clear throughout the day, with light breezes from the east that will not alleviate the stifling atmosphere. The yellow alert implies a low meteorological risk, but caution is recommended, especially for the elderly, children, and those engaging in outdoor activities.
Hot weekend ahead
Saturday will offer no respite. Temperatures will remain very high, with a maximum of 37 degrees and a minimum of 20. The sky will remain clear and the wind will be very light, also from the east. It will be an ideal day to go to the beach, but with sun protection and plenty of hydration.
On Sunday, temperatures will drop slightly, although they will still be high: between 21 and 35 degrees. The sky will be mostly clear, with some clouds that will not prevent the sun from heating strongly. Breezes will continue to be gentle.
Recommendations for extreme heat
In light of this heatwave, the Manacor Town Hall recommends avoiding sun exposure during the hottest hours of the day, between 12 and 5 PM. It is essential to drink water frequently, even without feeling thirsty, and to avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages.
The residents of Manacor should pay special attention to the most vulnerable groups: the elderly, young children, and people with chronic illnesses. It is also advised to keep homes cool by closing shutters and windows during the day and opening them at night.
Regarding agricultural and livestock activities, the yellow alert does not imply specific restrictions, but field workers are advised to take extra precautions and avoid the hottest hours. Animals should have access to shade and fresh water at all times.
For tourists visiting Manacor, AEMET reminds that high temperatures can cause heat strokes. It is important to use sunscreen, wear a hat, and light clothing. Nearby pools and beaches, such as Portocristo or Cala Murada, will be a good refuge.
Next Monday, a temperature drop is expected, with maximums possibly falling to 30 degrees, according to updated forecasts from AEMET. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated and seek shade.
