The rain and wind are set to continue across the Canary Islands this Monday, with weak to moderate showers expected, particularly in the northern midlands of the mountainous islands, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). The rain could be persistent in these areas, while the rest of the archipelago will see cloudy intervals with a chance of light, scattered rainfall.
Winds and Sea Conditions
Winds are expected to blow moderately from the northeast, with stronger gusts in the extreme southeast and northwest of the larger islands. On the summits, moderate winds from the north will be accompanied by occasional strong gusts. Some areas of Tenerife and La Gomera may experience very strong gusts, especially in elevated regions.
Regarding sea conditions, the wind will come from the north or northeast with force 5 or 6, easing to 4 or 5 later in the day in the eastern islands. Coastal waters will see swell or rough seas, with waves reaching 1 to 2 metres, and in some northern areas, waves could rise to 3 metres.
