The title of this thread sounds like one of @Kim Wrong Un 's Balearic producers.

it does hurt at first but usually after a few hours max the pain disappears with the common jellyfish we have here. I've said it plenty of times before, simply use a diving mask when swimming and you'll see them
Aye but even then, i find myself preoccupied with dodging the little guys, so much so that it soon becomes too much of a hassle and I retire to the safety of the beach. I'm a bit soft though... I lose my shit when a wasp hovers too close ?

I used the app on my short trip to Ibiza last week, worked like a charm. Went swimming to Salinas, sa Caleta, PdB beaches, there were no jellyfish, just as predicted by the app. Went snorkeling to Punta Galera - there were some jellyfish, again as predicted by the app. Very cool.

the more people use the app (and actively report jellyfish sightings within the app), the better it will work!

Jelly fish spotted this week from San An all the way to Benirrás. Got stung off one in the cave just north of Cala Bassa (the beach was free of jellys that I saw) last Friday.
Out on a boat everywhere we stopped to the north of San An the little red coloured ones were about. Incidentally we saw a few tuna jumping near Cala Salada -do they feed on them
Still had a swim at Benirras but it put a stop to some cliff jumping we had planned

Decenas de miles de medusas aparecen en una playa de Ibiza
De un día para otro, la arena apareció cubierta de un gran manto azul

Slightly OT, but a few Portuguese Man ‘O War washed up in Cornwall U.K. at the weekend. Thank god there aren’t many of those evil things around the Balearics.

Ibiza could do with some more Great White sharks.Jelly fish spotted this week from San An all the way to Benirrás. Got stung off one in the cave just north of Cala Bassa (the beach was free of jellys that I saw) last Friday.

I'm confused
I
I wish , I would see a Great white one at any time. In Bali they have very nice Blacktips. Big , nice sharks , but harmless. No case of a attack known.
They have some White Sharks in the Med . At any time they saw one between Ibz and Formentera.
Jellyfish are a differnt story. I am afraid of them.

they're around, but not in massive numbers. where exactly changes from day to day with the wind and the currents…

Is the Medusas Ibiza App still used / updated by people? I’ve found that very accurate in the past.

you would expect there to be a medusa influx as sea water has been ridiculously warm. off the Murcia coast, it reached 30C last week!

Agree. I think all over the med the sea is a few degrees warmer.
I highly recommend the Medusas Ibiza app. It takes wind and currents into account. Very rarely have I gone to a beach where it says 2% chance and there been one.
