The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a weather forecast for Monday in the Canary Islands. Expect high cloudiness and cloudy skies with possible rains in the western islands, particularly in La Palma where the rain may be moderate. Temperatures will slightly rise, and there will be light winds from the south in the eastern islands and from the southwest in the rest of the region.
Moderate winds are anticipated on the southeast and northwest slopes of the western islands, with moderate south-westerly winds on high summits.
Regarding sea conditions, expect west and southwest winds at force 3 or 4, locally reaching 5, and areas of swell. However, it will ease to 2 to 3 with variable force 1 to 3, then increase to south, southeast, and east 2 to 3 in the eastern islands with rough or swell. There will be a north-westerly swell with waves of 2 to 3 meters and some showers.
