The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has updated its weather forecast for Monday across the Canary Islands, indicating that cloud cover and the possibility of weak and sporadic rainfall will persist. Temperatures are expected to remain largely unchanged, while winds will generally blow lightly to moderately from the north, gaining some strength in the afternoon, particularly in exposed areas.
General Overview
The day will be characterised by intermittent cloud cover, which will become more pronounced during the night in the northern parts of the mountainous islands. During daylight hours, cloud development is expected to intensify over inland regions of the southern and eastern slopes, with a chance of occasional, light rain.
Temperatures will show little variation compared to previous days, and winds will predominantly come from the north, lightly to moderately, influenced by local breezes and tending to increase in intensity later in the day.

Monday’s weather in the Canary Islands will continue to reflect spring’s transitional character, with a blend of cloudy skies, stable temperatures, and mild northerly winds. The risk of rainfall is low but cannot be entirely excluded, particularly in inland and northern zones of the more mountainous islands. Authorities advise remaining informed via official updates, especially when planning outdoor activities.
