Sunshine and temperatures of 30°C or higher are forecast across parts of the Canary Islands today as conditions become considerably more settled following the recent spell of changeable weather.
AEMET forecasts predominantly clear or lightly clouded skies across much of the archipelago today (Tuesday), with temperatures remaining similar to Monday or rising slightly in some inland areas.
Light calima will remain at altitude, but the dust is not expected to cause the widespread disruption associated with the more significant episodes experienced recently.
There are currently no AEMET coastal weather warnings in force around the Canary Islands, and none are expected during the following 24-hour period.
Outlook for Tenerife and Gran Canaria
Tenerife will be mostly clear or sunny, although cloud is expected to develop across some inland areas during the afternoon.
An occasional light shower cannot be ruled out, particularly inland, but most coastal and resort areas should remain dry.
Temperatures could locally reach 30°C along the coast and in lower areas of southern Tenerife.
Gran Canaria will experience similarly settled conditions, with predominantly clear skies and some afternoon cloud developing inland.
Temperatures are expected to reach around 30°C in southern and south-eastern coastal and lower areas.
Temperatures could exceed 30°C in eastern islands
Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are expected to see some of today's highest temperatures.
Fuerteventura will be predominantly clear after some early cloud, with temperatures potentially reaching or exceeding 30°C in inland and south-eastern areas. Puerto del Rosario is forecast to reach around 29°C.
Lanzarote will also become predominantly clear following some morning cloud around coastal areas.
Temperatures could exceed 30°C inland, with around 30°C forecast in Arrecife and some forecasts indicating highs of approximately 31°C elsewhere on the island.
Both islands will continue to experience some light calima at altitude.
Generally calm conditions at sea
Conditions around the coast are also expected to remain relatively calm.
A north-westerly swell of approximately one to two metres around exposed northern coasts and the western shores of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura will gradually decrease.
More sheltered southern coastal areas should experience considerably calmer seas.
Light winds will dominate much of the archipelago, generally from the north across the western islands and north to north-east across the eastern islands.
