As of Monday, 10 March 2025, the Canary Islands are anticipating the arrival of a series of Atlantic storm systems, mirroring the broader meteorological conditions across Spain. While the mainland contends with successive Atlantic storms, the Canary archipelago is also set to experience the influence of these weather patterns.
Midweek Weather Forecast
- Rainfall: The approaching frontal systems are expected to bring rainfall to various parts of the islands. Residents and visitors should prepare for wet conditions in several areas.
- Snowfall: There is a possibility of snow on the highest peaks, notably Mount Teide on Tenerife. This could affect travel and outdoor activities in mountainous regions.
- Temperatures: Despite the unsettled weather, temperatures are forecasted to remain mild, with daytime highs around 20°C (68°F). This is relatively warm compared to the cooler temperatures expected on the Iberian Peninsula during the same period.
AEMET Warnings
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued yellow weather warnings for coastal phenomena affecting the Canary Islands. These advisories pertain to potential hazardous conditions along the coastlines, such as strong waves and currents. Residents and visitors are advised to exercise caution in coastal areas and stay updated with the latest weather information.
General Outlook
This period of atmospheric instability, which has impacted much of Spain over the past ten days, is projected to persist throughout the current week. The Canary Islands should anticipate the arrival of new frontal systems from the Atlantic in the coming days, leading to continued unsettled weather conditions.
