AEMET has warned that strong trade winds will continue to affect the Canary Islands this Tuesday, with occasional very powerful gusts expected in exposed south-east and north-west areas of the mountainous islands, including Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Forecasters say the weather pattern will remain largely unchanged, with cloudy skies dominating northern parts of the islands while sunnier conditions are expected elsewhere across the archipelago.
Temperatures are forecast to stay stable throughout the day, although some inland areas of Gran Canaria could once again reach highs of around 30°C.
At sea, rough conditions are also expected, with north and north-easterly winds reaching force 5 to 6, temporarily increasing to force 7 in south-eastern and western coastal waters. Strong swells and rough seas are forecast in exposed Atlantic areas, while northern and eastern coasts could see waves of between one and two metres.
