Blustery conditions are set to sweep across the Canary Islands this Thursday, with cloudy skies and the possibility of light rain in some areas. Temperatures, however, will remain largely unchanged with highs of 25°C.
According to the latest reports from AEMET, moderate northerly winds will strengthen at times, with gusts that could be strong or even very strong in exposed areas, particularly during the afternoon.
At sea, northerly or north-easterly winds of force 3 to 5 are expected, with slight to moderate seas, occasionally rough in places, and a northerly swell of between one and two metres.
Overall, it will feel breezier than recent days, particularly in exposed areas, so residents and visitors are advised to take care, especially on coastal roads and in higher ground.
