In Spain, the new weather predictions are not very hopeful and the fact is that A new DANA is expected to approach the country with a pocket of cold air that will bring rain next Thursday. In Malaga this rain will not be normal, but It will be marked by a little-seen atmospheric phenomenon.
This ‘blood rain’ will be caused by the arrival of a pocket of cold air that will change the spring temperatures this Monday and Tuesday. These days the temperature has exceeded 20 degrees Celsius in the Andalusian province.
This pocket of cold air will arrive throughout Thursday from the Atlantic and push the Saharan dust towards Spain, which will fall in the form of rain. The phenomenon known as ‘blood rain’ is normal rain stained by haze, which produces a characteristic reddish color thanks to the iron oxide particles.
This ‘rain of blood’ is one of the main enemies of cars and hanging clothes, since it usually stains everything in its path. This phenomenon will not only affect Malaga, but can be seen in numerous areas of Andalusia, as well as in Extremadura and the south of the Meseta.
As Thursday progresses and DANA moves toward the Mediterranean, the air will be clear of dust. This phenomenon has surprised experts this year, since It is usually frequent in late spring and early autumn, and not in mid-February as will happen.
