Canary Islands brace for sharply rising temperatures
The Spanish state meteorological agency (Aemet) has warned that temperatures will rise sharply again across the whole country this week, including the Canary Islands, where the mercury will climb above 35C in parts of the archipelago. For this reason, it has already announced yellow heat warnings affecting three islands. These are Aemet’s warnings for the Canary Islands over the coming days, although further warnings have not been ruled out.

Fuerteventura is the first island to activate its yellow warning for high temperatures, which comes into force at 11.00am this Tuesday and remains active until 7.00pm the same day. It covers the whole island, where a maximum temperature of 34C is expected, mainly affecting the interior and the south-east of the island. On Wednesday, the warning will be activated again at the same time and will remain in place until 7.00pm that day. It again covers the entire island, with maximum temperatures of 34C, although 37C could be reached locally, especially in the south.
