Wednesday brings a welcome drop in wind speed across the Canary Islands. The Atlantic should also calm down, offering a more settled day overall.

General conditions

Winds will be lighter than recent days. Expect a light to locally moderate north-easterly breeze on the southeast and northwest slopes of the taller islands. From midday, a light westerly flow will develop on the peaks of La Palma and Tenerife.

The western islands will see variable cloud cover, with sunny spells mixing with cloudier periods. Most of this cloud will be local in nature, with its vertical development limited to below 1,200–1,300 metres. The eastern islands, meanwhile, will start and end the day with low clouds.

Temperatures remain largely unchanged, staying typical for the season. The Ocean is calming down: the biggest waves will hit the northern coasts but should stay under one metre. Near the east and southeast coasts of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, plus the southern shores of the higher islands, conditions will be nearly flat calm.
