Stable weather will continue across the Canary Islands over the next few hours, although the wind will remain one of the main features of the day. According to the latest forecast from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), neither the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife nor the province of Las Palmas will have any active weather warnings in place this Tuesday, 16 June 2026.
Despite the absence of official warnings, the north-easterly wind, together with variable cloud cover, will shape the weather across the archipelago, with noticeable differences depending on the exposure and terrain of each island.
Cloudy skies in some areas and sunshine in others
Aemet’s forecast points to a clear contrast between the northern slopes, the more exposed areas and the southern and sheltered parts of the islands.
In Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the day is expected to begin with cloudy skies, a pattern that may return again towards the evening. During the central hours of the day, however, cloud cover is forecast to break up, leaving partly cloudy skies and longer sunny spells.
In the north of the mountainous islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, intervals of cloud are expected throughout the day. Even so, Aemet forecasts broad clear spells around midday, especially in areas less affected by the trade-wind cloud layer.
In the rest of the archipelago, skies will generally remain partly cloudy or clear, with no significant rainfall expected.
Temperatures remain steady, with Santa Cruz de Tenerife the warmest capital
Temperatures are expected to show little change compared with previous days, remaining within normal values for this time of year. However, there will be a noticeable difference between the two Canarian capitals.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is forecast to record the highest temperature among the provincial capitals, with a minimum of 19°C and a maximum of 28°C. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, temperatures will be slightly milder, with a minimum of 20°C and a maximum of 24°C.
Moderate trade winds with strong gusts in exposed areas
The wind will blow moderately from the north-east, following the typical trade-wind pattern that often helps to keep temperatures more comfortable across the islands.
However, Aemet warns that there may be intervals of strong wind in the south-eastern and north-western extremes of the islands with the greatest relief. These gusts may be especially noticeable in exposed coastal areas, higher ground and zones where the terrain tends to accelerate the wind.
Although no weather warnings are currently active, caution is still advisable for outdoor activities, especially near the coast or in areas exposed to stronger gusts.
