The heat in the Canary Islands is giving way to a drop in temperatures, and the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) anticipates a “marked” decrease in maximum temperatures on Monday. However, temperatures may still reach 30-32 ºC in inland and coastal areas, with a forecast of overcast skies with medium and high clouds, transitioning to high intervals in the afternoon, and occasional showers are not ruled out.
Winds will be mainly light and variable, initially coming from the north in the first half of the day and gradually shifting to moderate westerlies later in the day. Coastal areas of the Canary Islands will experience predominantly breezy conditions.
Regarding sea conditions in the Canary Islands, variable winds at force 1 to 3 are expected, reaching force 4 along the coasts of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, leading to rough or swell conditions in various parts of the archipelago, including a north swell of 1 to 2 meters in height.
