A British man has been found dead after heavy rainfall swept over the tourist island of Mallorca.

A search is underway for another tourist who is missing after Tuesday's bad weather.

The two were out hiking along a valley on the northern part of the island when the sky opened up. They are believed to have been caught off guard by the heavy rainfall and swept away by the flash floods, according to Spanish media.

Local authorities had urged people to avoid outdoor activities on Tuesday due to expected and "very intense" storms.

The Mediterranean island of Mallorca is a popular destination for European holidaymakers.
