The Canary Islands start the week under a blanket of Saharan dust, with temperatures climbing sharply and calima settling over much of the archipelago. Monday brings mostly clear skies and a hot, hazy day, particularly across the eastern islands.
General conditions
Skies will be mostly clear or only lightly clouded, although scattered clouds are expected below 400–600 metres in low-lying northern areas of the western islands during the first half of the day. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote will see similar cloud cover on their western slopes early on, clearing by midday.
Calima will be significant at surface level, most noticeably in the eastern islands. Temperatures are on the rise, with the sharpest increases in the east. Inland areas of the eastern islands, Tenerife and La Gomera could locally reach or exceed 34°C.
Winds will be light from the north in coastal areas, while inland zones see a moderate south to south-westerly flow. On the Atlantic, waves of around one metre are expected on north-facing coasts and along the western shores of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Sheltered southern coasts will see slightly choppy conditions.
