The Canary Islands are in for a largely dry weekend, with less cloud around, lighter winds and Saharan dust returning to the eastern islands. Sunday looks the warmer of the two days, with the south of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura possibly pushing past 34°C.
Saturday: clearing skies and lighter winds
Cloud will be on the retreat across the Islands on Saturday, though the morning starts grey in a few spots. La Palma is the exception, with cloud lingering and the chance of a few spots of drizzle, most likely in the northeast. The north of the more mountainous islands will also hold onto cloud through the morning before it breaks up from midday onwards. The eastern islands stay mostly clear, with a fresh pulse of calima settling over the mid-altitudes and the higher ground.
The trade winds will keep blowing along the coast and at the extremities, but with less bite than in recent hours. Temperatures hold steady on Saturday before climbing on Sunday. The Atlantic settles down too: rough seas in the north give way to a swell below 2 metres.
Tenerife
Cloudy in the north and northeast through the morning, clearing later. Sunshine elsewhere, with calima in the mix. Temperatures between 23°C and 29°C.
Gran Canaria
Another weekend above 30°C in the mid-altitudes of the south. In Las Palmas, expect 23°C to 27°C. Low cloud in the north will thin out.
Lanzarote
Some cloud early on in the northwest, then clearing with light calima. Temperatures between 23°C and 29°C.
Fuerteventura
The wind eases and the skies stay clear. Sun softened by calima, with 22°C to 27°C in Puerto del Rosario.
La Palma
A grey day again, though rainfall will ease off — at most a few drops in the northeast. Temperatures change little.
La Gomera
Low cloud over the north and centre, with a lower chance of rain. Skies clear in the afternoon, the wind drops and temperatures stay much the same.
El Hierro
Cloud cover reduces through the day, although low cloud and mist dominate early on before skies clear. Temperatures between 18°C and 21°C.
La Graciosa
A day of minor scattered cloud with plenty of sunshine. Light calima, less wind and temperatures holding steady before rising on Sunday.
Looking ahead to Sunday
Sunday brings the warmth: temperatures climb across the Islands, with the south of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura not ruling out readings above 34°C.
