A calm, anticyclonic day on the Islands
The Canary Islands are set for another day of classic summer weather this Tuesday, 25 August. A high-pressure system is dominating, bringing a mix of sunshine and clouds, with no significant changes expected through the week. The only possibility of a little weak rainfall arrives late on Thursday afternoon and into Friday.
Expect variable cloud cover across the archipelago, with periods of mostly clear skies alternating with cloudier spells. Low clouds and local daytime clouds will form, but they won’t bring any rain. Daytime temperatures remain stable, peaking at around 30ºC on most islands and slightly cooler at 27–28ºC on La Graciosa.
Winds will blow from the north and northeast, light to moderate in strength. Higher up, above 1,300–1,400 metres, the wind shifts to come from the west. This will be moderate on La Palma’s peaks, but could be strong at times on Tenerife’s summits, particularly around Mount Teide. Out on the Atlantic, conditions are calm with slightly choppy ocean surfaces. The eastern islands may see a bit more movement, with ocean swell from the open Atlantic of under 1.5 metres.
Island-by-island forecast
Tenerife
A tale of two halves on Tenerife. Expect variable cloud and spells of clear skies in most areas, but a moderate westerly wind with strong gusts is forecast for the Teide National Park. Take care if you’re heading to the high summits.
Gran Canaria
A sea of clouds will cling to the northern coastlines below 1,300 metres altitude. Elsewhere on the island, it’s a story of sunshine and warmth, with highs reaching around 30ºC.
Lanzarote
Blue skies and sun will share the day with intervals of low cloud. A moderate trade wind breeze keeps things comfortable.
Fuerteventura
Mostly sunny weather with just a few scattered clouds passing through. Temperatures hold steady, and a light to moderate northeast wind provides a pleasant breeze.
La Palma
Cloudy intervals are on the cards, with the greyest skies developing around midday and in the early afternoon. It should brighten up later in the day.
La Gomera
Sunshine and variable cloud cover, with a pleasant daytime high of around 30ºC. A light wind from the north keeps the air moving.
El Hierro
A light to moderate trade wind breeze, with clouds in variable amounts, both low-level and developed during the day.

Pleasant conditions with a mix of sun and clouds. The coolest of the islands today, with maximum temperatures of around 27–28ºC.
