The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts a continuation of the stifling heat and persistent haze across the Canary Islands this Thursday, presenting a challenging weather scenario for the region.
Detailed Weather Conditions:
- Santa Cruz de Tenerife Province: Expect cloudy intervals below 600 meters in the northern and northeastern parts, with clearer skies initially in the north and a gradual increase in cloudiness towards the northeast as the day progresses. Higher altitudes and other regions will experience minimal cloud cover or clear skies, accompanied by a light haze noticeable in the south during the early morning hours.
- Temperature Variations: Little change is anticipated in most areas, although slight increases are expected in elevated regions. The south and west midlands could see temperatures reaching up to 32°C. Tenerife will experience highs up to 31°C and lows down to 18°C in El Hierro.
- Wind Conditions: Winds from the northeast will blow moderately across the islands, intensifying occasionally on the southeast slopes and the extreme northwest, where very strong gusts are expected, particularly from the afternoon onward. The west coast will feel lighter breezes, and the central high peaks will experience light westerly winds.
- Gran Canaria’s Northern Lowlands: Similar to Tenerife, these areas will encounter variable cloudiness, becoming cloudier towards the end of the day.
- Lanzarote and Fuerteventura: The forecast predicts a mix of cloudy and clear skies, with cloudy intervals more frequent on the eastern and western coasts towards the end of the day.
- Temperature and Wind in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: Temperatures will remain steady, with a high of 26°C and a low of 23°C. Moderate northeastern winds will bring strong gusts, particularly on the southeast and northwest slopes, intensifying later in the day, including at the summits, with lighter breezes on the southwest coast.
Residents and visitors are advised to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to outdoor heat. Continued updates from Aemet will provide further information as weather conditions develop.
