Several municipalities across Tenerife have confirmed changes to their Three Kings (Reyes Magos) celebrations as persistent rainfall affects the Canary Islands. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has forecast continued rain across much of the archipelago, prompting town councils to either suspend outdoor parades, relocate events indoors, or monitor conditions closely before making final decisions.
Weather Situation
According to Aemet, rainfall is already widespread and is expected to continue throughout the day, particularly in northern areas. Meteorologist Vicky Palma has warned that umbrellas will be essential, especially in the north of Tenerife.
