CSN News: Yellow alerts cause mud to rain in Andalucia


Andalucia experienced mud rain in some areas last night. It’s caused by a mixture of rainfall and Saharan dust resulting in reddish muddy precipitation. 

The sky was lit up by hundreds of lightning strikes in the last few hours of last night’s thunderstorms.

Most of the mud rain was reported in western Andalucia. This includes areas in Cadiz and Huelva but also in inland regions like Granada, Jaen.
