May 1 on Mallorca: Clouds, Dust-Laden Rain and the Question of Proper Preparation

Answer

How does dust-laden rain affect cars and terraces in Mallorca?

When Saharan dust mixes with rain, it can leave a muddy or clay-like residue on cars, windows and terrace furniture. That means surfaces may need cleaning sooner than usual, especially after an overnight shower. Covering outdoor furniture and keeping vehicles protected can save time the next day.
