- In Mallorca news today, see shocking scenes following snow Storm Juillette ripping through the holiday island.
With snow in the Traumuntana Mountains blocking off villages including Valldemossa and mountain access roads to Soller, snow has fallen at sea level on the beaches in Cala d'Or, with rain and high winds bringing widespread flooding, and chaos to the island.
In the South West of the island has escaped from too much damage, however, two sinkholes have also appeared in the capital city Palma. Watch this video to find out more.
Thanks so much to Maria from the Capalina Charter in Cala d'Or for the snowy beach photos and video. You can book her charter here in warmer weather! capalinacalado...
And to Lynn from my daughter's school for the pics of Valldemossa.
It's not often we see snow in Mallorca, but we hope that is the last of Winter in Mallorca and we can look forward to Spring!

Yes Alex we did see the photos of Mallorca. It's very Strange. - You should call your program _( Mallorca under the. Snow " 😀😀 Only joking it will be Hot again in Mallorca in weeks time but I can't say the same for. England. 🤔🤔🤔🌴🏝️🏝️
Hi Alex I remember snow falling in Mallorca 2012. We live in Mallorca for 10 years I just couldn’t believe it but that’s Mallorca for you. Thank you and take care 🤗
And it settled on Palmanova beach too I remember. I also remember my power blowing that day!
Was many years ago...visited sa coma and loved it, hope one day to go back there. X
Bless you Alex, we have been watching the reports & just can't believe it. There will be so much water coming down from the mountains. Stay safe.
Yep, it's going to be a swift thaw I think with warmer temperatures tomorrow. At least we have our water supplies topped up though!
Wow, what unbelievable weather. Can't believe it's so bad. Thanks for showing us Alex & you take care.
It's been a crazy couple of days and now looking like it's all returning to normal! (*breathes a sigh of relief!)
That makes me want to cry seeing the island like that. I can’t get my head around the snow on the high ground. Keep warm Alex and I hope you’re weather gets better soon
Honestly Tommy, when I heard a storm was coming, I thought it was the local press over-exaggerating. I think many people thought the same. More unbelievable is that the sun will be out again tomorrow! Whatever next!
It's a bit of snow!!!!A few roads closed and a bit of disruption won't do anyone any harm!Look at what's happening in Turkey!!!!!
Oh my, unbelievable Alex. Thanks for the Video. Wrap up well x
Thankfully things will be warming up later this week!
Amazing to think that you have had more snow there than we have had here in Bristol England over the years. I would say it's only snowed three or four times and hung around for less than a day here in the last 10 years.
Especially considering how cold it normally is over there!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun I wouldn't swap Majorcan weather for ours though lol.
Looks chilly Alex even where you are!! Wow what a winter wonderland 😲
On Cala Mayor beach... first time I haven't seen anyone in the sea !
Wow I stayed in Cala Dor a few years ago, it is so beautiful,I can’t believe how much snow, I live in Cornwall in the UK and we’ve not even had snow here!
Hi Lynda - it's super strange to see it here, especially in Cala d'Or! I do hear snow is headed your way though so you may see similar scenes soon! (ps. Cornwall - how lovely!)
I was there in 2005. It snowed then as well.
Thank You. Keep Warm and Safe.
oh boy! I just joined your FB group asking about this and here you are, fantastic! Warm wishes to everyone there.
Ha, thanks Mark!
Thank you Alex, we're due on the 13th March, staying in Palma Nova. Hope all is ok soon. Take care driving. André
I'm sure the sun will be out by then and temperatures will be back to normal!
amazing
That's such a good report!! So comprehensive. Well done.
Thanks Revnon!
Wow ! Looks amazing up in the mountains 😊
And it's all melting now!
You certainly love showing us the different sides to mallorca, Alex...still haven't seen you going swimming yet. That water looks very refreshing. 🌊🌊🌊
The sun is back out today which is just crazy! Time to dig out the swimming kit I'll give it 2 more months! 😂
Thanks for showing the beautiful scenery of Mallorca in the snowy weather! Personally, I wouldn’t use bad, horrible, terrible as often as you described it and many of the other commentators; it’s an unusual weather pattern for there and might as well take the usual safety precautions and just enjoy it while you can! It’s good you were outside reporting and maybe the people there could also get outside their homes and make a snowman ☃️ or a snow creature of their choice & come inside for a hot cocoa! The flood threat is real though, so thanks for giving caution! The higher elevations around Los Angeles are also recently experiencing unusually heavy snowfalls (with more to come, I read earlier today) ~ you can find a clip of a nice Polish family visiting and they were interviewed on local tv… they were quite happy to experience something unusual during their trip to California that doesn’t happen very often in LA, even though they expect it more this time of year back home in Poland. You seem like a very nice person, and I enjoyed seeing the snowy Mallorca you & your friend shared, as it’s such a contrast to the warm & sunny Mallorca I got to experience on a family trip when I was a kid! To me, variety is the spice of life, including difference of opinions! 😊
Hi Brian, thanks so much for your comment. I have family over in the US, and they've send me snowy pics from places where it just doesn't snow! Must be global warming.
I think it looks beautiful. There are plenty of war sunny days anyway. Snow is beautiful, moreover on the beach, since it is so unusual. I agree with you.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Not global warming, that makes the planet habitable. The climate us perturbed and it is changing as predicted, but it is happening faster and sooner than the theory said. Winters will become colder, prolonged and summers hotter worsening droughts and longer.
Wow unbelievable weather you’ve had ❄️ ⛄️ glad I’m in the uk 😂 Need to catch up on your videos, been busy and fallen behind on TH-cam. Hope all going well for you Alex 👏🤩😍
Hey guys, it's been crazy here! Should've picked now to come to the UK! No worries at all, you've watched so many of my vids already!
Great video and informative thank you for sharing it with us 👍😉🇪🇸🥶
Thanks so much Ian. I bet it's been colder here than in Newcastle today! (has to be a first!)
Thanks for the video Alex. The weather looks terrible. I've friends in Valldemossa and Orient and they have been sharing photos. Take care and stay warm
I think Orient was cut off too. You’d hardly believe the weather we had as the sun is back out today !
Thank you for the coverage.
Video liked, and I'm a subscriber.
Hello! Welcome to the channel and thank you for commenting!
Alex, that's like a lovely British snowstorm. Haven't had any snow this year! Good luck with it all!!
Hey Petra! How are you? Sun is back out today!
Mother nature knows no bounds, she does what she wants when she wants.
So strange seeing the beaches white instead of golden Alex. I hope the thaw doesn’t bring too many problems for everyone on the island, I remember the awful floods the other year. Take care xx
Luckily it's not been too bad!
Congrats , what a big hitter!!! I was drawn in myself ...for your info it was the title😉 Get the champers out : )
Haha, hey how are you! I made this in 10 minutes walking to the supermarket. Never expected this to happen! If only all videos could get these views. Hope you're doing well!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun yeap that's often the way . Great work well done 👏👏👏
Wow..be safe people.
And the sun is back out today!
Wow I didn't know Mallorca gets a bit of snow - that is surprising to hear. You might as well come back to the UK lol
And I heard the sun was shining in the UK yesterday! Would've been the perfect time for a visit!
Hi Alex I can't believe what I'm watching the weather in majorca is worse than the uk just can't believe its snowing on the island take care on the roads and thanks for the video xx
Thanks Mike, driving isn't fun at the best of times, however, today it was a good excuse to leave the car at home!
Oh my goodness Alex 😮 I hope you are all ok my lovely x
It was a crazy couple of days and woke up to sunshine again today!
I think what you saw on the beach is not snow but graupel. Real snow occur with temp around 0 °C. Snowflakes are lighter and are also able to cover trees and palms (as the video about the mountains showed). If only the ground is white, but not the trees, it is not real snow, but graupel or soft hail, which can occur with a higher temperature (around 5 °C or even more), it falls in the form of a shower, and usually does not last long.
Hi Eugenio, that's super interesting! I didn't know this at all! Never heard of it. But it did transform our beaches for a while!
Looks like snow to me.
@@alandavies3727
AND ME , I BET THE KIDS LOVE IT.
WOW. 2 things come to mind:
1. Did anyone fall into the Sinkholes when they initially developed? At least one was on a busy main road so I would not be surprised.
2. I hope that people who own holiday homes on the Island have a sufficient property management solution in case they have burst pipes internally.
Anyway great report as always. You really keep people who love the island, but who are living abroad, engaged and up to date.
Thankfully the sink holes appeared in the early hours of the morning. But it's worrying they happened after just 12 hours of rain. And yes, having a home here, is indeed a huge issue. I hear properties with swimming pools can ause the most problems!
Hope everyone is ok
Here's in Scotland in the Highlands we get snow alot and very low temperature the snow can cut of villages and in the mountains we get avalanches just like in northern France, Austria , Norway , Sweden , we all know your not read for weather like you are getting at the moment , let's hope no one is injured or dead
Thankfully, I don't think anyone got injured. Could've been so different
That’s crazy!!!😢
I'm staying in Palma at the moment, and was planning to get the bus to Valdemosa and Soller tomorrow. Do you think the buses won't be running yet?
I think everything is thawing now, so I imagine the buses will be OK tomorrow. I can't imagine they'll keep the roads closed as the sun will be out. Have a fantastic time by the way. I feel like I should apologise for the weather! At least you can say you've been here in unprecedented times.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Thanks, that's good then, I'll try my luck. Nothing to apologize for. This weather is making me feel at home!
Thanks Alex for going out in the freezing weather to film this video showing us the awful weather out there! It looks pretty, but so cold and it is so strange seeing snow on the beaches. So much damage done by it too. Hoping things improve quickly. And that sink hole 😮
@@TheNeilsolaris 😂
Just an update, I got the first bus to Valdemossa this morning, it was running fine. There's only a tiny bit of snow here, but none on the roads.
wow
Global warming NOT
Is it still snowing. Suppose to travel at end of March .
No, it's warm now!
To see snow on a Spanish beach... its just something you wouldnt think. Crazy. Hopefully bit better in June when Im visiting! Lol
By June, when Summer starts, we'll be dreaming of a day like today!
Where is the snow around you
We didn't get any in the South West. We got off scott free (except for the sink holes). There was a real island divide. Think i mentioned it.
Im coming there 2nd may
This climate warming is not all it's cracked up to be.
Whip saw, unusual weather is the hallmark of climate change. This is just a little taste of what’s coming.
It's not called Climate warming now. It's Climate Change. Personally I think it should be EC. Environment Change. Because that's what it is. It's not just weather, it's the impacts of those changes.
That's because it's Climate Change and it is happening faster than many thought it would.
Yep we are heading straight into the next ice age as predicted. Sure is climate change..
Geo Engineering
OMG how cold for poor lovely Majorca
Definitely wasn't a beach day yesterday, but luckily the sun is back out again today!
How can it be unprecedented if you had snow in both 2012 & 2015, unusual yes rare yes but hardly unprecedented in fact my exes mother was there in the 90s and she had the same experience.
Well that is my opinion I've been living here for almost 18 years and haven't seen anything like the weather we have experienced in the past 48 hours. From sunshine on Saturday (see Sunday's video) to sudden rain and snow and massive sink holes appearing in Palma with mass chaos north and east of Palma, I would say it's not your average day on the island. Maybe I'm wrong
Any skiing? 😀
That's not good Alex hope it gets better soon
We've had a right mixed bag - goodness knows what tomorrow will be like, and I don't believe the weather forecast anymore!
It's nice and mild here in the uk
No it isn't 😂
Makes a change ,instead of all the sunshine! It won't be there long as it's giving 16-18degrees next week.
Feel for all the people who have suffered, hope it gets back to normal soon
Hi Gordon - you're not wrong! The weather forecast looks like it'll be returning to normal in the next couple of days!
That's the earth wobble 👍
My goodness that sinkhole eek! 😮
Oh my god snow of mallorca🙈
Just a wee drop of snow. Hardly a disaster.
It's called winter, it happens sometimes?
Sorry for such awful weather. Hope everyone is okay!!
Snow will be gone tomorrow, it is not a disaster.
@@buckaroo1949
ABSOLUTELY, it's nice white snow.
Their Dunkirk spirit will drag them through 😁
So Majorca gets a taste of UK weather.
Hey Steve how you doing! Ha, yes!
Hope everyone is ok. We're there at the end of April. I'll have to bring my ski equipment.🤭😳
Hahaha, I'll keep you posted 😜
There's not enough snow to ski, so many Brits fly to northern Finland (Rovaniemi and Kittilä) to be able to do that!
Shame actually! It would be great to have our own ski resort!
I'm going to Cala D'or on the 31st, hope it warms up by then.🤣
I'm sure it will Simon. Don't worry too much!
lmao! We call this 'a dusting' of snow. When it gets 3, 4, 5-plus FEET......THEN you can state that 'it's bad'! Our Magnetic Poles are IN THE PROCESS of shifting. Where it is now warm/hot.....is going to be cool/cold. Where it is now cool/cold......will become warm/hot. AFTER the Poles are done shifting, we will have a brand new equator (in a brand new spot)!
Much better weather in Denmark 10 degrees, no snow and sunshine 😁 I bet the snow will melt soon, and it doesn't make too much trouble 🌞
If the temperatures weren't rising tomorrow, I think we'd all be heading to Denmark on holiday! It's been sooooo cold today!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun you are welcome 😅 but I'll stay in Mallorca if I were you.. perhaps you took some of the snow with you from your skiing holiday❄️🌨
Some people call that Winter.
"Spätwinter"
❤️🥰
The visibility is zero in Valdemossa. Crazy!
we get this every year, its only jan and feb, and in a few months time, we will be winging that its too hot lol
😂 I'm sure I will be!
20k soon 🌴🌴🔱🔱
Fingers crossed!
We’re does the warming come in
When the sun comes out again!
looks like dudley
😂😂😂
Too bad but you're exaggerating... Links to Sun's activity and is cyclical in nature. The cycles are longer than our life times... stay safe
No big drama
DONT WORRY IT BE SUNNY NEXY WEEK....PLZ DONT WORRY...
This global warming ain't half cold.
Omg
yeah we can see how deep it is, about 1inch deep lol.
Never thought it ever snowed in mallorca , wow i certainly don't believe in climate change now
looks like Swiss alps winter🤣
😂
See you were told the planet is heating up to extinction of all life on earth. Frozen precipitation in Mallorca proves it !
Global warming, global warming, cried Little Chick, running around in circle.
Quite possibly.... the storms are getting crazier
It's global cooling, low solar activity
See there is no climate issues, the people in the know said melting ice and drought.
Damn this global warming.
Must be global warming then
Some people in the comments take things so personally if you say the snow is weird 😂😂😂
Hot water bottle time alex ❤
I've had the hot water bottle out for weeks now! Roll on Spring!
Is this because of Global warming? Lol
Lots of people are saying this!
Geo engineering. 😎🥰🌍not natural.
The planet is warming up don’t ya know 😂
Thought inland mountains got this most yearscin majorca and spanish mainland but on Majorca does not last long so whyvthe fuss this year woke climatistes again?
Big deal it happens occasionally it's called weather
Oooh global warming 😂
I SAID STOP WORRYING WERE ON THE EDGE OF THERMO NUCLEAR WAR....STOP WORRYING...UR MAKING ME WORRIED...U LOOK AND SPEAK REALLY SCARED...IM A BIG MAN ...UR GOING TO SCARE ALL THE LITTLE OLD LADIES...WHAT IF THEY CANT FIND THEIR GLOVES...
All man made
thats global warming.
My bum hole is very itchy
😂 Sounds like you need to see a chemist!
