Heavy snow has hit the Spanish island of Mallorca, with Storm Juliette sweeping across the country.
The island, a top holiday destination usually known for its warm weather and sunny beaches, has been hit with snow and cold temperatures, dropping as low as -2C (28.4F).
A red weather alert is in place due to large waves on the north side of the island, with Spanish officials AEMET (State Meteorological Agency) warning of 8 metre (26ft) waves.
Weather experts have also warned of up to 40cm (15inch) of snow could accumulate at the peak of the island’s Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, with lower amounts of snowfall “even at sea level”.
It comes as temperatures in parts of central mainland Spain dropped as low as -15.8C (3.5F).
In a post on Twitter, AEMET said: “It is snowing at low levels of the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, even at sea level.
“Strom Juliette will continue to generate snowfall on Tuesday. On Wednesday they could be more copious in the north of the peninsula.
