The alteration in temperature and weather in Alicante is already apparent, and it is evident that a growing number of people are starting to wear their summer clothes.
The number of individuals who are already beginning to congregate in the busiest areas of our coast, including the beaches of Alicante and Torrevieja, is evidence of this.
Nevertheless, the quality of the air in various regions of the Iberian Peninsula, including Alicante, may be impacted by the advent of dust in the coming days.
Through the Olivier cyclone, this dust will be transported from the Sahara.
This new storm, which was identified by the State Meteorological Agency on Monday, 7th April, will be responsible for the resurgence of Saharan dust uplift and transport to the Balearic Islands, the Balearic Islands, Melilla, and Ceuta.
The Canary Islands will be impacted by this storm from Tuesday to Thursday. The westernmost islands will experience locally intense rainfall, wind, and waves.
Subsequently, it will approach the Iberian Peninsula, where it will accumulate a substantial quantity of particles in North Africa. These particles will be transported to the aforementioned locations within the next few hours. These particulates will even reach the northern region of the Iberian Peninsula.
Despite the meteorologist’s assertion that it will not be a significant intrusion, they caution is that “of course” the air quality will be exacerbated by the dust.
They say that individuals with respiratory issues may experience difficulty during these episodes, and as a result, it is advisable for them to remain at home.
It is also advisable for individuals who maintain excellent respiratory health to exercise caution. Advice is against engaging in extensive physical activity outdoors during this period.
This dust is expected to settle in the province of Alicante beginning this Thursday, 10th April, and will remain there until at least Saturday, according to forecasts.
Additionally, it’s anticipates that mud precipitation will occur in significant portions of Spain by the end of this week, with the province of Alicante being the most susceptible.
Given these predictions, it is advisable to postpone washing your vehicle until the following week.
