Aemet’s heat warning for the Canary Islands comes into force this Sunday, with temperatures expected to reach 37°C in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
The Canary Islands will see a day of contrasts this Thursday, with mostly clear skies in many areas, occasional drizzle in the north, temperatures rising locally to 30°C and moderate to strong winds affecting exposed zones.
Cloud cover will increase across much of the archipelago, bringing scattered rain and slightly cooler temperatures, especially in the north and on the central islands.
Cloud cover will increase through the day, bringing a chance of light, scattered rain, especially in inland and eastern areas of the islands.
The combination of Saharan dust, rising temperatures and strong winds will create challenging conditions across much of the islands, particularly away from the coasts.
Marked contrasts between coast and highlands across the Canary Islands will make conditions feel noticeably different within just a few kilometres.
The sudden shift in conditions will make the day feel significantly colder and more hazardous, especially in exposed and coastal areas of the islands
Wind, rough seas and even frost at higher altitudes will reinforce the sense of a markedly colder and more unsettled day on the islands.
Warm conditions will prevail across the Canary Islands, but brief afternoon showers may still interrupt otherwise settled weather.
Rain will arrive in short, scattered bursts, mainly affecting inland and higher areas of the islands throughout the day.
