This bank holiday weekend, Alicante province is set to experience mud showers, reminiscent of the miracle of rain that ended a prolonged drought five hundred years ago. The State Meteorological Agency, Aemet, has predicted an unstable weekend, especially as the region celebrates Santa Faz. From Saturday, May third, rain mixed with fine dust may create muddy conditions throughout the province.

On Thursday, May first, residents can expect a cloudy start, particularly in northern areas, with morning fog potentially reducing visibility. Light rain may mix with dust, increasing the likelihood of mud showers. Temperatures are anticipated to rise slightly.

Friday will continue with cloudy skies and ongoing dust, with rain chances tapering off by the afternoon. Saturday’s forecast includes showers and possible thunderstorms inland, while Sunday is expected to provide a mix of sun and cloud, with more rain likely in northern areas.

As the weekend unfolds, temperatures may vary in different areas; rising along the southern coast while slightly declining inland. Residents should remain alert, especially for thunderstorms that may develop over the weekend.
