High cloud and Saharan dust settle over the Canary Islands this Tuesday, with temperatures easing slightly after recent warmth. The calima will be most noticeable at mid-altitude and summit level, and could become marked in low-lying parts of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote by the afternoon.
Daytime highs will dip, particularly inland. Even so, southern Tenerife, Gran Canaria and the south-east and interior of the eastern islands are likely to reach or nudge past 30ºC. Winds will be light north-easterly along the coasts, but strong south-westerly across the highest summits of Tenerife and La Palma. On the Ocean, the biggest waves will build along northern coasts at around 1.5 metres, while sheltered southern shores stay calm and slightly choppy.
Tenerife
Middle and high cloud cover the island, with occasional rain possible inland and the chance of an isolated storm dropping a scattered shower in the north and east. Low cloud will linger on northern slopes, while calima thickens at mid-altitude and summit level. Light north-easterly winds on the coast, turning strong south-westerly on the high peaks. Temperatures between 23ºC and 26ºC.
Gran Canaria
Overcast with middle and high cloud and calima intensifying at mid-altitude and summit level. Low cloud will appear in the north from midday. Light north-easterly winds on the coast. Southern low ground could reach or exceed 30ºC, with the capital ranging from 23ºC to 26ºC.
