Pedestrians with umbrellas protect themselves from a fine rain, in the Bando de la Huerta of 2019. /
Less than a week before the long-awaited festival by the people of Murcia, the Aemet establishes a probability of precipitation of 50%
The rain, which since March has turned the weather in the Region of Murcia into that of other latitudes, threatens to return on one of the most anticipated days by Murcia, the Bando de la Huerta. Although until now the forecast was quite optimistic. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) raised the probability of rainfall to 50% for next Tuesday. At least, if they do occur, they will be rare, according to the current forecast.
In any case, with four days to go before the Bando, the weather expectations can still improve. We will have to wait to find out if the rain tarnishes one of the great days of the Spring Festival, which Murcians have been impatiently awaiting for three years. In 2020, it coincided with home confinement. And in 2021, still in the middle of the vaccination campaign, it was held at half speed, without a parade or barracks.
In addition, in 2019, the last year in which Murcia was able to celebrate the Bando de la Huerta at full capacity, rainfall also appeared during lunchtime. Of course, the clouds left on time and allowed the parade to leave only with a slight delay and take place without further incident.
If the 2022 edition finally gets rid of the rain, Murcia will enjoy a completely spring day. According to the Aemet forecast, temperatures will reach 23 degrees during the day, and at night they will stay above 10. Pleasant values for the time that will push the huertanos to crowd the streets of the capital of the Region.
The unstable weather has not yet said its last goodbye after a record month of March. Although the volume of rainfall has decreased at the beginning of April and the sun has returned Murcia to its natural state for several days, the rain has also slightly clouded the first Holy Week after the coronavirus. On Holy Wednesday, the processions of the ‘coloraos’ in Murcia and the Arrest in Cartagena were suspended. For now, the day of the Bando de la Huerta is the first in which the showers can return.
