The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) forecasts show a change in the weather today (Thursday), with high clouds, a drop in maximum temperatures, and light northerly winds in the Canary Islands as the haze finally dissipates leaving cooler clearer weather.
Even though temperatures will drop today, they are still higher than normal for the time of year with warnings for forest fires still active in the more mountainous islands.
Sea conditions will be a lot calmer but will vary between the north and south of the islands with a warning of swell of around 1 to 2 metres and strong currents, so people are still advised to act with caution in rocky areas.
Intervals of high clouds with some intervals of low clouds in the early morning and late hours of the day and no major change in temperatures. Light north wind with some intervals of increased intensity in inland areas this evening.
Temperatures forecast: high of 27°C and low of 18°C.
