The Canary Islands are set for a predominantly clear Sunday, as forecasted by the Spanish Meteorological Agency (Aemet). While the day will largely remain sunny, some high clouds and occasional cloudy spells are expected in the northern areas of the mountainous islands as the day progresses.
Temperatures across the islands are predicted to rise, particularly noticeable in the midlands and mountainous regions. Winds will primarily blow from the northeast, exhibiting moderate strength but could intensify with strong gusts along the southeast and northwest slopes of the mountainous islands.
Maritime conditions will be influenced by these northeastern winds, anticipated to reach force 4 or 5, and could even escalate to force 6 in certain offshore areas. The southeast of Tenerife might experience significant swells, while milder winds, ranging from force 1 to 3, along with 1 to 2-metre high swells, are expected on the southern and southwestern coasts.
