AEMET warns of possible afternoon showers in Tenerife and La Palma despite stable weather across the Canary Islands

Light rain may develop inland in Tenerife and La Palma this afternoon, while the rest of the Canary Islands remain largely stable with mild temperatures.

The latest forecast from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) points to a generally calm and stable day across the Canary Islands this Tuesday, although with a notable exception: light and occasional rainfall may develop during the afternoon in specific areas of the western islands.


Mostly stable conditions with increasing cloud intervals

Across the archipelago, skies will remain largely clear throughout much of the day, with the presence of high cloud layers creating intervals of cloudiness. In addition, low cloud is expected to form in the northern and eastern parts of the islands, particularly during the evening and night.

Overall, these cloud developments will not significantly alter the stable weather pattern that has characterised recent days, maintaining a predominantly mild and settled atmosphere.

Light rain possible in inland areas of the western islands

The most relevant aspect of the forecast concerns the possibility of light, scattered showers in the islands of Tenerife and La Palma. These showers are expected to occur mainly in inland and mid-altitude areas during the afternoon.

Although rainfall is not expected to be widespread or intense, it represents the main deviation from otherwise stable conditions and is the key element to watch during the day.

Temperatures remain mild and unchanged

Temperatures across the Canary Islands will remain stable, with no significant variations compared to previous days. The weather will continue to feel mild and pleasant, consistent with typical seasonal conditions.

In the main provincial capitals, temperatures are expected to range as follows:

  • Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: between 19°C and 22°C
  • Santa Cruz de Tenerife: between 18°C and 23°C

Moderate north-easterly winds with stronger coastal gusts

Wind conditions will be dominated by moderate north-easterly trade winds. These winds may intensify during the afternoon, particularly along the north-western and south-eastern coasts, where stronger gusts are expected.

In contrast, wind speeds in mid-altitude areas and on the peaks will be lighter and more variable. In higher areas of Tenerife, winds may occasionally shift to the south-west and increase in intensity.

No weather warnings despite localised changes

Despite the possibility of light showers in specific areas, AEMET has not issued any weather warnings for this Tuesday. This confirms that, overall, conditions will remain calm and manageable across the archipelago.

A largely settled day with minor local variations

In summary, the Canary Islands will continue to enjoy stable weather conditions, with only minor localised changes. While most areas will remain dry and pleasant, the chance of light rain in inland parts of Tenerife and La Palma introduces a slight variation in an otherwise consistent and mild weather pattern.
