The Canary Islands are set for another hot and breezy day on Sunday, with light calima, temperatures reaching 34°C in parts of Gran Canaria, and strong northeast winds affecting several islands.
According to AEMET, skies will be mostly clear or sunny, although there will be intervals of cloud in low-lying northern areas. Light calima is also expected at higher altitudes.
Strong gusts of wind are possible in inland areas of Lanzarote, the south of Jandía in Fuerteventura, and low-lying southeast and northwest areas of the mountainous islands, particularly Gran Canaria and La Gomera.
With the combination of high temperatures, strong winds, low humidity and dry vegetation, the Canary Islands Government continues to warn of a high risk of wildfires, urging residents and visitors to avoid any activity that could spark a fire and to call 112 immediately if they see smoke or flames.
