The forecast in the Canary Islands for Tuesday, 23 January, suggests a moderate easterly breeze along the coastlines and a moderate to robust southeasterly wind in the midlands and elevated regions. A yellow alert will be active, indicating a high probability of extremely powerful gusts on the northern slopes. These gusts are deemed less probable on the southwestern slopes, and towards the evening, they could also affect the central peaks.
Gran Canaria is expected to be mostly sunny or clear with sporadic high cloud cover and mist, particularly pronounced on the southern slopes during the latter part of the day. Similarly, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura will experience minimal cloudiness or clear skies, interspersed with high clouds. Calima (haze) is forecasted to become more noticeable as the day progresses, as reported by the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
Temperature-wise, there will be a slight to moderate increase, more so on the northern and western slopes. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, temperatures are anticipated to range from a high of 23°C to a low of 20°C.
Regarding the wind, expect moderate easterlies along the shorelines and a range from moderate to strong southeast winds in the midlands and higher terrains. Additionally, Gran Canaria will be under a yellow warning for potential very strong gusts on the northern slope. The probability of such gusts occurring on the summits, as well as on the western and southern slopes, is lower.
