Watch Out: Stormy Skies Set to Shake Ibiza This Sunday Morning

If you're in Ibiza this weekend, it might be wise to say goodbye to beach plans as the island isn't offering the usual sunshine bliss. A successor of scattered showers dampened Friday and Saturday, but Sunday promises something more dramatic. The weather service has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms beginning at 8:00 AM and concluding at 1:59 PM. Expect overcast skies and possible thunderstorms that could be intense in certain areas. Though the alert lifts by early afternoon, light showers may persist, so don't put away your raincoat just yet. Monday dawns without alerts so far, but showers remain a possibility, especially in the early hours.
