Thursday is set to be a stable day across the Canary Islands, with more sunshine than clouds and temperatures typical for the season. The anticyclone remains in control, driving a moderate trade wind from the northeast.

General conditions

A band of low clouds will affect northern coasts during the morning and again after mid-afternoon. These clouds will sit below 1,200–1,300 metres and could release a few light drops in Tenerife, La Palma or Gran Canaria, though rainfall is unlikely. Elsewhere, skies will be mostly clear.

Daytime temperatures will reach around 30°C across most of the archipelago, hitting 32–33°C in Gran Canaria and 28°C on La Graciosa.

The Atlantic will be slightly choppy to rough, with an ocean swell from the north of about 1 metre. There will also be a 1-metre swell from the south and southwest along the southern and western coasts of La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
