The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a rain warning for Wednesday in the Canary Islands, with forecasts of more intense rainfall than usual. The northern regions of La Palma and Tenerife are expected to experience heavier downpours during the morning, which could sometimes be intense and persistent. Thunderstorms are also possible, particularly in the northern parts of the archipelago.
Tenerife, La Palma, and Lanzarote remain under a yellow warning for rain, with accumulated rainfall predicted to reach 15 mm within an hour and up to 60 mm over a 12-hour period. Additionally, the Canary Islands Government has maintained a pre-alert status for rain in Tenerife and La Palma, while Lanzarote is under an active alert. A pre-alert has also been initiated in Lanzarote due to the potential for flash flooding caused by heavy rain.
Weather Forecast Details

For Wednesday, the forecast predicts predominantly cloudy skies, with a likelihood of light to moderate rain in northern regions during the morning and isolated showers possible in central parts of the islands by afternoon. Minimum temperatures are expected to rise slightly to moderately, while maximum temperatures may decrease, particularly in inland areas.
