Winter returned to Mallorca today. Probably the best way to put this into context is that daytime temperatures have dropped by 15 degrees Centigrade in the space of two days. Monday felt like an early summers morning in the Caribbean, whilst today snow has been forecast at heights of over 700m. In actual fact most of the island seems to have seen a few flakes of snow at some point today. The biggest problem though has been the wind, and it will more than likely cause damage at some of the islands courses. The ones most at risk are likely to be Puntiro & Son Gual where newly planted trees are at risk, whilst at Poniente older trees have in the past taken the brunt of the damage. However it is difficult to forecast exactly where damage may occur.
Two courses (Son Muntaner & Capdepera) had to close their driving ranges today, and we will keep you updated if we hear of any more information over the next couple of days.
The good news is that tonight's forecast low of 2 degrees should see the end of this cold snap with the forecast turning warmer over the next few days. There is a possibility of some light showers at the weekend, but this shouldn't cause too much of a problem for those with advance tee-bookings through either www.golf-majorca.co.uk or www.simplymallorcagolf.com
