Gusty trade winds and a rough Atlantic on Thursday
Thursday will follow the same pattern we’ve seen in recent days: low clouds hanging over the northern slopes early and late, with a very low chance of rain. No fog is expected near Tenerife North Airport. The clouds will also spread across much of the north and west of the eastern islands. Higher ground and southern areas will stay largely clear, especially during the midday hours.
The trade winds continue to blow strongly, with gusts exceeding 70–80 km/h in exposed spots: the peaks and tips of the more mountainous islands, the Tenerife metropolitan area, and the centre and south of Lanzarote. Temperatures may rise slightly in the western islands, while remaining stable elsewhere.
At sea, expect a mixed swell with waves over 2.5 metres off northern coasts and in the channels between islands. Southern coasts will see a rough ocean.
