A spectacular 'cap de fibló'—a rare waterspout phenomenon—was spotted this morning by residents in the Calvia area, as towering cloud formations painted a dramatic sky over Mallorca. Eyewitnesses described the scene as "breathtaking" and "like something out of a disaster movie."

The island has been put on high alert this Friday, with authorities warning of heavy rain and severe storms, particularly from midday onwards. By the afternoon, the downpours—which have already battered Menorca—are expected to lash Mallorca, bringing localised flooding in low-lying areas.

Temperatures are predicted to remain largely unchanged, according to the Balearic branch of AEMET, while the wind will blow lightly from variable directions, accompanied by coastal breezes.
