Freezing February in Mallorca

Their monthly weather report for February had some rather unusual facts for an island known for its sunshine:

In some areas it rained more than five times the normal: at Palma University it rained 216.0
l/m2, when the normal is 40.7 l/m2 and, in Portocolom, 208.8 l/m2, when the normal is 38.5
l/m2. In Escorca, the highest rainfall was collected, 426.4 l/m2, almost four times the normal.

The lowest minimum temperatures were as follows: -4.3C in Escorca; -1.2C in Sant Joan -1.0C in Ciutadella Cala Galdana (Menorca) and 1.7 C in Formentera and 1.7 C at Formentera.

At the end of the month and in early March large amounts of snow fell in mountain areas.
