January rainfall records shattered in parts of Majorca.

It will come as no surprise that January was one of the wettest in Majorca since records began. In ten places, more rainfall was registered than ever before. These were: Serra d'Alfabia with 257 litres per square metre; Binissalem (194); Son Servera (191); Portocolom (187); Colonia Sant Pere (166); Campos (157); Llucmajor (152); the airport (150); Arta (148) and Portopi (147).

Aemet says that on average the rainfall was three times as much as normal for January, but even this was exceeded in certain places. In Montuiri, where there were 212 litres, this figure was 4.4 times above the average. At the airport, the 150 litres were four times as much, while Llucmajor's 152 litres were 3.5 times greater than the average.

-----------------------------------------------------------

In the next few days, Aemet is advising that wind will be strong with speeds of 60-70kph reaching at least 80 on Sunday; the wind will start to ease on Monday. Temperatures, meanwhile, will be slightly above average. There is also the chance of some light showers over the weekend.

To roughly convert from litres per sq metre to inches of rainfall, divide by 25. So Serra d'Alfabia had roughly 10 inches of rain.
Hope that helps in understanding the figures.

This from the MDB :-

Aquifers up to almost two-thirds capacity.

With all the rain (and snow) that has been falling on Majorca, the aquifers as well as the reservoirs have been filling up. The capacity of aquifers in the Balearics has risen by five per cent since the end of last year to 63% and by 21% compared with a year ago. In Majorca specifically, the improvement over twelve months ago has been by 24%.

The regional government's water resources directorate reported yesterday that all the demand units for water supply in the Balearics are now functioning normally, with the exception of the eastern Llevant unit in Majorca. This, odd though it may sound, is still classified as being in a state of drought pre-alert, but the directorate suggests that this status will be dropped when new data are available. There is always, it points out, a delay between rainfall and the impact on the water table.

I see from the MDB on Facebook that you've had snow. I love PP no matter what the weather.
