The Canary Islands are set for another spell of hot and windy weather today, Monday, with temperatures expected to climb as high as 35°C in some areas and gusts of wind reaching 80km/h, according to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
The combination of rising temperatures, strong trade winds and calima at higher altitudes is expected to affect much of the archipelago, particularly inland and southern areas.
Temperatures on the rise
The hottest conditions are forecast for Gran Canaria, where temperatures could exceed 35°C in the mid-altitude areas of the southeast, south, west and around Tejeda.
Elsewhere, highs of 30°C to 32°C are expected in parts of Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, especially inland and along southern coastlines.
Strong winds and rough seas
Moderate to strong trade winds will affect all of the islands, with the strongest conditions expected on southeast and northwest slopes, where gusts could exceed 80km/h during the afternoon.
Lanzarote and southern Fuerteventura are also expected to experience particularly strong winds, especially overnight and later in the day.
At sea, northeast to easterly winds of Force 5 to 6, occasionally increasing to Force 7, will produce rough or very rough conditions. A northeast swell of between one and two metres is also forecast, meaning extra caution is advised for anyone planning to head out on the water.
Island-by-island outlook for Monday 29th June 2026:
Tenerife
Tenerife will also begin with cloud in northern coastal areas before clearing through the middle of the day. Higher ground may see some afternoon cloud and the slight possibility of isolated showers over the central peaks. Temperatures will climb above 30°C in many inland and elevated areas, while strong winds are expected on the southeast coast and the island's northwest tip.
