What is the rainiest day of the week?

Rain

What would you answer if they asked you what is the rainiest day of the week? Saturday? Monday? The truth is that many of us would respond any day that we had free time, and it is during that time that it is easiest for us to remember how unstable the atmosphere was.

The rest of the week, when we are working, we hardly look out the window, so remembering what the weather is… is difficult. But did you know that there is a day when it is much more likely than the rest that it will rain? We discover it for you.

That day is ... Saturday, according to a study conducted by the Arizona State University. To find the answer, they used pollution and rainfall data from 1946 from several cities on the east coast of the United States, thus showing that Saturday is the rainiest day.

The explanation is as follows: throughout the week in big cities like New York, Los Angeles, etc. The pollution that is emitted by automobiles, factories, and other sources accumulates. This pollution is made up of millions of suspended particles, called aerosols, which favor the formation of water droplets in clouds..

Strong rains

In this way, once Friday arrives, so much pollution has accumulated that the chances of it raining during the weekend, and more specifically on Saturday, are very high in these specific places. In rural areas and towns, however, this study cannot be applied, because in these places it is not polluted as much as in cities.

So, if we don't want it to rain so much on Saturday, it is best not to pollute or do it as little as possible. Only in this way will we avoid having a wet weekend.
