Clear skies and light calima welcome the weekend

The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) forecasts clear skies for this Saturday, generally with some light calima at higher altitudes in the eastern islands of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Temperatures are expected to remain mostly unchanged, with moderate northeast winds in the western islands, decreasing in intensity elsewhere.

In mountainous areas, the wind will be light from the east, with predicted breezes on the south coasts and the west of the mountainous islands.

Regarding sea conditions, northeast winds of force 3 to 5 or 2 to 4 are expected with swell or choppy seas. However, on the west and southwest coasts of the islands, the wind will be variable with force 1, and the sea will be smooth. Additionally, a northwest swell with waves of 1 to 2 metres is expected.
