October has arrived in the Canary Islands with rain falling across every island, but particularly in Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro and Gran Canaria. As the week goes on, showers will spread to the entire archipelago, with some accompanied by thunderstorms this Tuesday. Here is the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecast for the coming days in the Canary Islands.

Tuesday

As a notable feature, Aemet warns of probable locally heavy showers in the interior of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and El Hierro. Occasional storms cannot be ruled out, especially in the eastern islands and in Tenerife during the afternoon. Light calima at high levels.

In its ordinary bulletin, Aemet indicates cloudy intervals in the mountainous islands, with cloudy skies predominating from the afternoon in inland areas, where occasional showers are likely. These could be locally heavy in the interior of Tenerife and Gran Canaria and, with lower probability, in El Hierro. In Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, cloudy intervals, especially of medium and high cloud, with a low probability of scattered rainfall.

Rainfall may be accompanied by occasional storms, mainly in the eastern province and Tenerife. Light calima at high levels, more significant in the mid-altitudes and summits of the central islands, as well as in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Temperatures will see little change overall, aside from slight to moderate drops in maximum values in inland areas. Light to moderate northeasterly wind, stronger on the southeastern and northwestern coasts in the afternoon, turning easterly at mid-altitudes and southerly on the summits.

The forecast indicates cloudy intervals in the mountainous islands, with cloudy skies predominating in the north and, from the morning, also in inland areas and eastern slopes, where occasional showers are expected, especially during the morning and afternoon.
