The Canary Islands are forecast to experience cloudy skies on Monday, particularly in the northern areas of the mountainous islands, where light and scattered rain may occur during the early hours of the morning, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
In contrast, the easternmost islands of the archipelago will see intermittent cloud cover that is expected to clear gradually, resulting in largely sunny conditions by the afternoon. The rest of the islands will enjoy mostly clear skies throughout the day.
Temperatures across the Canary Islands will remain generally stable, although a slight increase in daytime highs is expected in the central islands. Winds will be moderate from the northeast, with occasional strong gusts on the southeastern and northwestern slopes, particularly during the early morning and afternoon hours.
Mainland Spain: Yellow Alerts for Extreme Weather in Nine Regions
Meanwhile, nine autonomous communities on the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands are under yellow weather alerts on Monday due to high temperatures, storms, heavy rainfall, and coastal phenomena.
The regions affected are:
Andalusia, Aragón, Balearic Islands, Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, and the Community of Madrid.
- Thunderstorms and intense showers are expected in Teruel, parts of the southern plateau, and mountainous areas of Andalusia, where rainfall could be locally heavy.
- Maximum temperatures are forecast to be notably high across much of the southern Atlantic coast and parts of Galicia, with a sharp increase anticipated in inland areas of the central-north and north-western peninsula.
- In many locations, especially in Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Lleida, Madrid, Ourense, Salamanca, Valladolid, Zamora, and Zaragoza, temperatures are expected to surpass 34–36°C.
- In parts of the southern half of the Atlantic coast—specifically Toledo, Seville, Córdoba, and Badajoz—the mercury may even exceed 38–40°C, according to AEMET.
- Night-time temperatures (minimums) will rise in the western third of the peninsula but may drop slightly in inland areas of the northeast. Elsewhere, overnight temperatures are likely to remain largely unchanged.
Winds and Sky Conditions
Generally, Monday will bring stable weather conditions across most of the country, with predominantly clear skies and some intervals of medium and high cloud, especially over the Alborán Sea and the southeast of the peninsula, where skies may become increasingly overcast.
Winds will vary regionally:
- On the north coast of Galicia, expect moderate to strong northeast winds.
- In the Strait of Gibraltar, winds will blow from the east.
- In Ampurdán (Catalonia), expect winds from the north.
- Easterly winds will also affect the Cantabrian and southeastern coasts.
- The Balearic Islands and Canary Islands will see moderate winds from the north.
