THE RED SANDY DUST IS BACK The red powder in suspension returns this week to Alicante

The phenomenon known as "rain of mud or blood" filled the streets, cars and balconies with a layer of reddish sand a few weeks ago. The suspended dust, which left a layer of red sand in different parts of the province a few days ago, will return to Alicante in the middle of this week. As pointed out by the Laboratory of Climatology of the University of Alicante (UA), a new trough will be produced —a mass of humid and warm air that rises through a low-pressure sector— to the west of the Iberian Peninsula, therefore that the southern circulation will predominate in its front edge that will bring, again, this phenomenon to the area. On Saturday, February 6, Alicante already produced what is known as "rain of mud or blood": a precipitation of desert dust from the Sahara, which left a thin layer of reddish sand on sidewalks, cars and balconies. In Torrevieja, Elche and Elda this reddish sand could also be observed in the streets. Professor Jorge Olcina, head of the Laboratory of Climatology at the University of Alicante (UA), explained then that it was the most intense episode since June 2018: "The origin of these rains is the combination of instability conditions due to the passage of a front and the drag of matter in suspension Saharan in the lower layers of the atmosphere ". Likewise, the also president of the Spanish Association of Geographers (AGE) pointed out that "this occurs when the wind flows have a south or southwest component over our country and affect the Mediterranean coast in particular." The rains of mud or blood show a growing trend in Spain since 1990 and, according to Olcina, represents "one of the evidence of climate change because it implies an increasingly frequent presence of flows from North Africa in southern Europe and the Mediterranean basin ".
