After days of intense heat, the Canary Islands are finally catching a break — though not everywhere just yet. This Wednesday brings a gradual dip in temperatures, but the southern half of Gran Canaria will still sizzle with local highs of 36–38°C, while southern Fuerteventura climbs to 34–36°C. The rest of the islands settle between 30–34°C.
General conditions
Skies will be mostly clear across the archipelago. A few low clouds may cling below 400–600 metres on the northern slopes of the higher islands, particularly early and late in the day, before lifting as the afternoon wears on. Saharan dust is in retreat, with calima thinning out as the day progresses.
Winds will blow from the north, light to moderate north-easterly, settling across all levels. On El Teide, expect a north-westerly breeze shifting to moderate northerly. Out on the Atlantic, the ocean stays slightly choppy along sheltered southern coasts, with rougher seas offshore and waves of 0.5–1.5 metres.
Tenerife
Clear skies dominate, save for a few low clouds along the north and north-east. Light calima lingers. Temperatures drop by several degrees, with highs of 32–34°C in parts of the east, south and west. The trade wind blows along the coasts, while El Teide sees a north-westerly breeze.
Gran Canaria
The familiar panza de burro — that thick blanket of low cloud — sits below 500 metres in the north, lifting higher towards evening. The rest of the island enjoys sunshine, light calima and serious heat. Temperatures ease slightly but still reach 34–37°C in southern spots. The trade wind picks up through the afternoon.
Lanzarote
Mostly clear, with just a few low clouds in the north. Calima is on the wane, leaving plenty of sunshine and summery temperatures of 25–34°C. A moderate north to north-easterly wind blows across the island.
Fuerteventura
Apart from some low cloud along northern and western coasts, skies stay clear as calima retreats. Temperatures dip, though southern areas still hit 34–36°C.
La Palma
Low cloud drifts across the north and east, while the rest of the island basks in sunshine. Calima remains in the air. Temperatures fall by several degrees, accompanied by a light to moderate trade wind.
La Gomera
Long sunny spells with light calima, plus a few low clouds in the north. Temperatures drop but the summer feel lingers.
El Hierro
Sunshine, light calima and scattered low cloud in northern spots. Temperatures fall, with highs of 24–32°C, and a moderate north-easterly wind.
La Graciosa
Sun and fading calima, though low cloud returns in the afternoon. Temperatures drop to highs of 27–28°C, with a moderate north to north-easterly wind.
