Yellow weather warnings across the Canary Islands
The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts a slight rise in temperatures for this Saturday (6 June) in Tenerife, with thermometers potentially reaching 28°C. However, strong winds and adverse coastal conditions will continue to dominate the forecast. Indeed, the island will once again be under a yellow warning for both phenomena.
Wind and coastal hazards remain the focus
Across the archipelago as a whole, very strong northeasterly gusts are expected on mountain peaks and the northwestern and southeastern slopes of the mountainous islands, as well as in the afternoon on the southern flank of the Tenerife metropolitan area. Elsewhere, skies will be mostly clear or with little cloud, except for some cloudy intervals below 800-1,000 metres in the north of the islands during the early morning and after dusk. Temperatures will see little change, though there may be slight to moderate rises in maximums at mid-altitudes, with the possibility of locally reaching 30°C in mid-altitude areas and south-facing low-lying zones.
