The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has forecasted that the Canary Islands will experience calima today, a weather phenomenon characterized by suspended dust particles. This episode is expected to be generally light and occur primarily in the afternoon, accompanied by intermittent medium and high clouds across the region. In the north coastal areas, low clouds will also be present during the morning.
Temperatures
Overall, temperatures will remain stable or see a slight increase, particularly noticeable in inland areas. The forecasted temperatures will vary, with a high of 27ºC in Tenerife and a low of 17ºC on El Hierro.
Wind Conditions
Winds will blow lightly from the northeast along the coastal areas, shifting to a southerly direction in the midlands and high areas. On the summits, winds are expected to reach moderate intensity, providing some relief from the heat in lower regions.
Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura
- In Gran Canaria, the forecast predicts intervals of medium and high clouds, along with low clouds on the north coast during the morning, accompanied by light haze.
- For Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, similar conditions are expected: medium and high clouds along with low clouds on the northern and eastern coasts in the morning. A light haze is also anticipated in these areas.
Specific Temperature Forecasts
Temperatures in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria are forecasted to range from a maximum of 26ºC to a minimum of 21ºC, with temperatures stable or slightly higher, especially in inland areas where minimum temperatures might rise slightly.
In summary, residents across the Canary Islands should expect stable weather with a light presence of calima, moderate wind changes across regions, and generally warm conditions, especially inland.
