Calima and rising heat take centre stage across the Canary Islands this Sunday. Saharan dust will hang heaviest over the high ground of the mountainous islands and the inland stretches of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, where it may reach ground level.
General outlook
Scattered clouds will sit below 700–800 metres across the low-lying northern slopes of the mountainous islands, thinning through the middle of the day. Elsewhere, skies stay mostly clear or completely clear.
Temperatures climb, particularly in the high ground and mid-altitudes, while minimums hold steady across the easternmost islands. A moderate north to north-easterly wind blows at low levels, easing from midday, and turns easterly over the summits.
At sea, expect rough conditions along coasts open to the north and on the western shores of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, where waves will reach around 1.5 metres. Sheltered southern coasts will see only light chop.
Tenerife
Cloudy intervals in the low northern areas will give way to mostly clear skies by midday. The rest of the island stays clear or nearly clear, with calima most noticeable across the mid-altitudes and summits. A light to moderate trade wind along the coast turns easterly higher up. The mercury pushes past 30ºC in the south-eastern mid-altitudes, while Santa Cruz hovers around 32ºC.
Gran Canaria
Mostly clear or clear, apart from cloudy spells in the low north. Calima is more pronounced over the mid-altitudes and summits. A moderate northerly wind along the coast eases through the afternoon and turns easterly over the high ground. South-eastern mid-altitudes could locally exceed 34ºC, with Las Palmas de Gran Canaria reaching around 28ºC.
Lanzarote
Clear or nearly clear, with morning cloud cover in the west. Calima is most marked inland. A moderate northerly wind eases during the afternoon. Inland areas may top 30ºC, while Arrecife reaches around 31ºC.
Fuerteventura
Clear or nearly clear, with cloudy intervals along the western coast. Calima is thicker inland. A moderate northerly wind eases through the afternoon. The south-east could exceed 32ºC, with the capital around 30ºC.
La Palma
Cloudy intervals in the low north and east will lose strength by midday, leaving clear skies elsewhere with light calima at altitude. Trade winds along the coast turn easterly over the mid-altitudes and summits. Western parts could locally pass 32ºC, while the capital ranges from 22ºC to 29ºC.
La Gomera
Cloudy intervals in the low north will tend towards clearer skies, with the rest of the island clear and light calima at altitude. A moderate trade wind eases later. Southern areas see the highest temperatures, with the capital between 24ºC and 31ºC.
El Hierro
Cloudy intervals in the low north, clear elsewhere with calima at altitude. A light to moderate trade wind along the coast. Warmest conditions in the south and east.
