Source:On the morning of October 31st, 1926 a red rain fell on Bordighera, covering the sidewalks and vegetation with thick reddish-brown sediment that turned a salmon color after drying. The rain showers ended around noon or British daylight time with a gust of hot, humid air from the east. It is estimated that the previous day had been cloudy with rain, a shower followed by a thunderstorm the night, with long lightning bolts to the east and west, and an elevation of no less than 2500 feet. A sample of the sediment and no doubt it was Saharan sand was kept for microscopic examination.
I've removed the whole thing as undue weight. These dust showers happen all over the world, and the incident at Bordighera doesn't seem to have attracted any lasting attention.‘Red rain’ fell at Bordighera on the morning of October 31, coating the pavements and vegetation with a dense red-brown deposit which turned to salmon colour when dry. The shower, which terminated about noon (English summer time), was accompanied by a current of hot moist air from the east. The previous day was wet and overcast, and the evening after the shower there was a thunderstorm with long flashes of lightning from east to west at an estimated altitude never touching below 2500 feet. Samples of the deposit (doubtless sand from the Sahara) are being preserved for microscopical examination.
