The Canary Islands are in for a warmer and brighter Thursday, with temperatures inching up across the board. Some low clouds will linger in northern areas during the early and late hours, especially around 700 metres altitude, but they’ll break up as the day goes on. A light calima haze will hang in the air, softening the horizon, while winds ease off compared to recent days.
General conditions
Mercury could climb to 30°C in parts of southern Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Winds are easing overall, though Tenerife’s exposed areas and the metropolitan zone may still see a few stronger gusts overnight. The Atlantic will remain rough on north-facing coasts, with waves around 2 metres high, particularly in channels between islands.
