Winds of up to 122kmph were registered last night in the Sierra de Alfabia, in the Tramuntana area of Mallorca thanks to storm 'Bella', which has been battering northern Europe since last Saturday. Gusts of up to 91 kmph were also recorded at Palma airport.
AEMET, the Spanish state meteorological agency, also highlighted some of the other more extreme wind conditions across the Balearic islands last night - 93kmph winds at Cap Blanc, in Llucmajor and 85 kmph gusts in Calvià.
In Banyalbufar winds of up to 80 kmph were recorded, whilst in Santanyí they reached 79 kmph. Binissalem and Sa Pobla saw gusts of 73 kmph and 72 kmph respectively.
Strong winds were also experienced across the other Balearic Islands, with Ibiza airport recording gusts of up to 82 kmph, and Mahón airport in Menorca registered winds of up to 78 kmph. Formentera was also battered by 73 kmph squalls. AEMET data suggests that these high winds will start to drop from around 2pm today (Monday), although both Ibiza and Formentera are likely to see further gusts of high winds during Tuesday.
Temperatures have also taken a sharp drop in the Balearic Islands, with overnight lows reaching -3.1ºC in Campos, and -1.9º in Binissalem.
There is no further snowfall forecast for this week and the strong winds will actually bring about a slight increase in temperatures, which will go up by between five and 11 degrees in the Balearic Islands, so overnight lows will not drop below 9ºC.
The first big snowfalls of the season started falling in the early hours of Monday morning and have brought smiles to the faces of skiers, snowboarders and ski resort staff alike.
