Thursday brings a mix of strong sunshine and a touch of Saharan dust. Temperatures are on the up across the Islands, with the hottest spots in the south and interior. The trade winds stay light to moderate, while the Atlantic gradually calms down.
General conditions
Mostly clear skies will dominate, with a few scattered clouds in the north of the mountainous islands and some early cloud in the east. A light calima will hang in the atmosphere over the eastern islands and Tenerife, but it shouldn’t affect air quality at ground level.
Temperatures are climbing, especially inland and at mid-altitudes. Coastal areas see little change, but southerly slopes could hit a sizzling 30ºC to 32ºC. The trade wind will blow light to moderate, with occasional strong gusts in the southeast and northwest of the mountainous islands, easing by evening. The Atlantic will see an ocean swell from the northeast, dropping from 1.5 to 1.0 metres on north-facing coasts and the west shores of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Sheltered southern coasts will be slightly choppy.
