Guachinche Day on the 18th of November 2023 across the Canary Islands will be marked by favourable weather conditions, as reported by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). The islands are expected to enjoy generally clear skies, though there might be some light haze at high altitudes, particularly in the eastern islands. Temperatures are predicted to remain relatively stable, with a moderate northeast wind blowing across the western islands and gentler winds elsewhere.
In the higher regions and midlands, an easterly breeze is anticipated, and coastal areas in the south and west of the mountainous islands can expect pleasant breezes.
Maritime conditions suggest a northeasterly wind ranging from force 3 to 5, or 2 to 4, with the presence of swell or rough seas. However, the west and southwest coasts of the islands will experience variable winds at force 1, with rough sea conditions and northwest swells bringing waves of 1 to 2 metres in height.
