canary islands weather 20 may 2026

Wednesday: temperatures rising, light calima possible

Warmer and drier across the Islands

The Canary Islands are heading into a warmer, drier spell. Humidity is dropping, and rain looks unlikely for several days. On Wednesday, low clouds hugging the coast at around 900 metres will gradually retreat, while a few scattered afternoon clouds may develop in the south — nothing significant. Long sunny spells are expected, especially in the higher areas.

Wind will ease throughout the day, blowing from a northerly direction at light to moderate speeds. Sea conditions remain rough, with areas of strong swells along northern coasts and channels between islands, where waves could reach two metres.
