Clouds and light showers for the north on Saturday
Saturday is a cloudier day across the Canary Islands, with the remnants of a very weak weather front sweeping in from the Atlantic. While this won’t bring dramatic weather, it will deliver low cloud and some light rain, particularly across the northern slopes of the tallest islands. The rest of the archipelago will see mostly cloudy skies too, especially at mid-altitudes.
Temperatures are continuing to drop. Expect coastal highs to land somewhere between 22–29°C. The wind will be light to moderate from the north, with stronger gusts at the eastern and western tips of the bigger islands. Up on the peaks, the breeze will blow from the northwest, and it will be noticeably stronger around Mount Teide.
As for the Atlantic, calm conditions are expected off the southern coasts. Elsewhere, the ocean will be slightly choppy, with waves between 1 and 1.5 metres high.
