Lower temperatures on Thursday, but Aemet has already issued a heat alert as the temperatures will be rising again. This is for the interior on Saturday; high of 36C. Other alerts are certainly possible at the weekend.
There was quite a bit more cloud on Thursday than had been forecast, and the daytime humidity ramped up. The humidity levels during the day had been pretty low this month. Overnight Wednesday into Thursday was a tropical or torrid night (no lower than 20C or 25C respectively) for virtually the whole island. This is a pattern that is likely to continue.
A satellite image on Thursday morning did show a bank of cloud mainly to the east of Mallorca. Weather stations aren't forecasting cloud for Friday.
