A calmer, sunnier start to the week
Monday brings a welcome break from the clouds. The week begins with no major changes, but there will be more sunshine and fewer grey patches. Northern slopes of the mountainous islands will see cloud cover, but expect wide clear spells by midday. Elsewhere, skies will be mostly clear or lightly clouded.
General conditions: warmth, wind and the Atlantic
Temperatures are rising slightly. The mercury could hit 30°C in low-lying areas of Tenerife’s southern metropolitan zone and on Lanzarote. Some spots in the south and west midlands of Gran Canaria, plus the southeast of Fuerteventura, may locally exceed 32°C.
The moderate northeast trade wind will bring strong intervals to the southeast and northwest of the mountainous islands, where occasional very strong gusts are possible. Southern and southwestern coasts will see lighter ocean breezes.
At sea, the Atlantic will be mixed with waves from the northeast around 1 to 1.5 metres on northern coasts and the western shores of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. More sheltered southern coasts will see waves below 1 metre.
