AEMET updates weather forecast for the Canary Islands: Take your umbrella just in case

AEMET forecasts cloudy skies and possible light rain this Sunday in the Canary Islands, with stable coastal temperatures and cooler conditions inland.

The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has updated its weather forecast for this Sunday across the Canary Islands, warning of generally cloudy conditions in northern areas below 1,200 to 1,300 metres, particularly during the early morning and evening hours. While no widespread rainfall is expected, there is a low probability of light and occasional drizzle, especially in the north-eastern midlands.


In contrast, the high mountain areas will see mostly clear skies, and the rest of the islands can expect partly cloudy weather, with more consistent cloud cover in the west during the morning.

Temperatures: Mild on the Coast, Cooler Inland
