Storm Charles Brings Yellow Weather Warnings to Ibiza and Formentera for Strong Winds and Rough Seas

11 November 2026 г.

Ibiza and Formentera are preparing for unsettled weather as Storm Charles approaches the Balearic Islands, with the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) issuing yellow warnings for strong winds and coastal conditions from the early hours of Thursday, 12 November 2026.

The weather system is expected to bring stronger westerly and south-westerly winds, rougher seas and a noticeable rise in temperatures across the Pitiusas. Although heavy rainfall is not expected to be a major feature locally, occasional showers remain possible.

The warnings are scheduled to begin at 03:00 on Thursday, with the wind warning extending into Friday morning and the coastal warning continuing into Friday afternoon.

Strong Winds Expected Across the Islands

Wind is one of the main concerns associated with Storm Charles.

AEMET's forecast indicates that winds from the west and south-west will strengthen, with gusts reaching around 70 kilometres per hour in Ibiza and Formentera.

The yellow warning reflects the possibility of disruptive conditions, particularly in exposed areas. Residents and visitors are advised to take precautions with outdoor furniture, loose objects and anything that could be displaced by strong gusts.

Rough Seas and Coastal Conditions

The storm is also expected to affect maritime conditions around both islands.

AEMET's marine forecast indicates that winds in the coastal waters of Ibiza and Formentera could strengthen to force 7 from the west and south-west during the early hours of Thursday.

Sea conditions are expected to deteriorate from relatively moderate conditions to rougher seas. Around Formentera, the forecast also identifies a southerly swell of approximately one metre.

The yellow coastal warning is particularly relevant to people planning boat trips, water sports or other activities close to the shoreline.

Temperatures Expected to Rise Above 25°C

Despite the unsettled weather, Storm Charles is also expected to bring a temporary increase in temperatures.

According to the forecast reported on Wednesday, Thursday's maximum temperatures could exceed 25°C, while overnight minimums may remain close to or above 20°C.

Temperatures are expected to begin falling on Friday, with maximums forecast around 23°C and minimums around 16°C.

This warmer spell is expected to be temporary, with cooler conditions returning as the weather system moves through the region.

Heavy Rain Not Expected to Be the Main Concern

Unlike areas of mainland Spain facing more significant rainfall from the wider weather system, Ibiza and Formentera are not expected to experience particularly intense precipitation.

Occasional showers remain possible, but the main concerns for the Pitiusas are the strengthening winds and deteriorating sea conditions.

Storm Charles is part of a wider episode of unsettled weather affecting Spain and the Balearic Islands. AEMET's special weather bulletin also highlights heavy rainfall, very strong winds and rough seas in other parts of the country.

Safety Advice for Residents and Visitors

With stronger winds and rough seas expected, people are advised to remain attentive to updated weather warnings and follow instructions from local emergency services.

Precautions include securing objects on balconies and terraces, closing doors and windows, and keeping away from exposed coastal areas during periods of strong waves.

People should avoid approaching sea walls, promenades, breakwaters and cliffs when conditions are dangerous. Water sports and other activities at sea should also be avoided during the warning period.

Boat owners are advised to check that vessels are properly secured and to monitor maritime conditions before planning any departure.

The 112 emergency service has also recommended avoiding areas near unstable walls, large trees, electricity infrastructure and other objects that could become hazardous in strong winds.

Residents and visitors in Ibiza and Formentera should follow the latest updates from AEMET and the Balearic emergency services as Storm Charles approaches.
