Canary Islands heat begins to ease but five islands remain on yellow alert
Temperatures appear to be easing slightly this Wednesday in the Canary Islands, although they remain above 30C. In fact, five islands will once again have the yellow warning from the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) in force for maximum temperatures between 10:00 and 20:00. Tenerife (southern, eastern, western and metropolitan areas), Gran Canaria (east, south and west), La Gomera, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote will be the islands where thermometers reach their highest readings. In general, maximums of 34C are expected, affecting mainly the southern and south-eastern slopes.
A sweltering night across the islands
While Wednesday is forecast to be hot, the early hours were not much better, especially in those areas where thermometers continued to register figures above 30C. Aemet’s top five is led by Gran Canaria, with three stations recording high temperatures during the night. Fuerteventura joins it, repeating the pattern of previous days, and La Gomera also makes the list after a fairly torrid night.
Specifically, the maximum temperatures during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday were: La Aldea de San Nicolás, Tasarte — 33.2C (00:10); Agüimes — 32.4C (01:40); San Sebastián de La Gomera — 31.6C (00:40); Pájara — 31.5C (00:30); Agaete — 31.1C (01:10).
Wednesday’s forecast for Tenerife
Meanwhile, the weather forecast for this Wednesday in Tenerife indicates clear skies with some cloud along northern coastal strips and calima that will clear during the afternoon. Temperatures will fall slightly, with a more marked drop in maximums at mid-altitude areas. Thermometers will range between 26C minimum and 33C maximum, although 34C may be reached in the south-east and east, especially at mid-altitude. Winds will be light from the north-east, strengthening in the final hours; on the central peaks, light north-westerly winds, locally stronger.
