This Monday, 22 January, sees a general rise in temperatures, with the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) predicting conditions that will escalate to risk (yellow) or significant risk (orange) levels across various regions, including central parts, the northern half of the peninsula, and the western islands of the Canary Islands. This alert is due to a combination of factors: wind, waves, and fog.
Today’s weather outlook suggests that the northeast of the islands will experience cloudy intervals, with the possibility of drizzle in the midlands during the early hours, transitioning to partly cloudy skies by the afternoon. Elsewhere, the forecast is for partly cloudy to clear skies.
Temperature-wise, the lows are expected to stay the same or increase slightly in elevated regions, whereas the highs will see a slight to moderate rise, particularly on the more mountainous islands. Temperature readings will span from a high of 24 degrees Celsius to a low of 18 degrees Celsius.
Winds from the northeast will bring strong gusts across exposed areas, with very strong gusts possible on the southeast and northwest slopes of the islands, though these are expected to lessen by the afternoon and shift towards the east.
In the northeast of Gran Canaria, similar conditions of cloudy intervals with potential early morning drizzle in the midlands are forecasted, leading to partly cloudy skies by afternoon. The island will also see partly cloudy to clear skies across other regions, with a chance of light haze as the day progresses into the evening.
On Gran Canaria, minimum temperatures are anticipated to remain stable or rise slightly in the higher regions, with maximum temperatures experiencing a slight to moderate increase. Thermometers on the island will show between a maximum of 23 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 19 degrees Celsius.
Northeast winds will feature strong gusts in exposed locales, diminishing and veering eastward as the afternoon progresses.
