Saturday: a few clouds and a calm Atlantic
A relatively stable day is in store for the Canary Islands this Saturday. Cloud cover will increase over the more mountainous islands, tending to clear as the morning progresses. A weak, isolated shower cannot be ruled out during the early hours or afternoon on La Palma, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria.
General Outlook
Maximum temperatures will drop slightly, most noticeably on La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife, and Gran Canaria. Minimums will see a slight dip on the peaks of La Palma and Tenerife. Elsewhere, temperatures remain typical for the season.
The wind will be a light northeasterly, though variable in direction during the morning. In mid-altitude and summit areas, it will be a westerly. Occasional strong gusts are possible late in the afternoon around the Jandía Peninsula and on the peaks of La Palma and Tenerife.
At sea, there is an ocean swell from the north with waves unlikely to reach 2 metres. Rough ocean conditions will prevail along most coasts, except for the south coast of La Gomera and Gran Canaria, and the southeast coasts of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, where the ocean will be slightly choppy.
