Answer

What is mud rain in Mallorca and when does it happen?

Mud rain in Mallorca happens when Saharan dust mixes with rain and falls back to the ground as a dirty layer on cars, windows and outdoor surfaces. It is more likely during unsettled spring weather, especially when dust reaches the island at the same time as showers.
