The rain forecast this summer in Valencia is very unusual. Very frequent localized rainfall is expected in the esplanade of the IVAM.

June, July and August are the driest and hottest months in the capital of the Turia. Normally, hardly more than 20 mm are recorded. This year, however, 300 mm will be reached. This curious meteorological phenomenon, unknown until now in the Mediterranean regions, generates very favorable conditions for gatherings.

It is a very fine rain, which hardly soaks, but whose prolonged effects are a great relief from the excessive sun exposure so common at this time of the year. These rains are expected to create a localized microclimate around the IVAM, with significant temperature drops, which may lead to rescue forgotten garments in the depths of the closet.

It is expected, therefore, this summer, a change in habits and clothing in the center of the city. A strange combination of swimsuits, bikinis and raincoats will color the arid esplanade of the IVAM.

The State Meteorological Agency has found that the rains are governed by a strange cycle and there are doubts about the nature of it. The coincidence of increased rainfall with the event "The steps of the IVAM" make us suspect that it could be a provoked incident.

Climate and summer customs scholars will come to Valencia this summer to document the unusual phenomenon, try to unveil its mystery and promote future replicas.

Shall we meet for the 5 o'clock rain?
