Wednesday: clouds and a few drops before the sun breaks through
The Canary Islands are in for a mixed Wednesday (10 June), with plenty of cloud cover on the northern slopes of the mountainous islands and a chance of light, patchy rain overnight and into the early morning. By midday, skies should clear across most of the archipelago, especially on the eastern islands.
Winds remain strong — gusts could once again top 70 km/h in exposed spots — but they are expected to ease significantly on Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will dip slightly, particularly daytime highs, before bouncing back later in the week.
Ocean conditions
The Atlantic will be rough along northern coasts, with waves around two metres high. Southern coasts will see slightly choppy conditions, with some areas of rough ocean. In the channels between islands, waves could exceed two metres. Conditions are set to improve on Thursday.
