The Canary Islands will start the week under predominantly cloudy skies and with maximum temperatures expected to rise slightly in some inland areas of Gran Canaria and the eastern islands, according to the latest forecast from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

In Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and La Palma, Monday will see mainly cloudy conditions in the north, clearing up during the central hours of the day, while the rest of the island slopes will experience mostly clear skies. Over in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the day will start with some cloud cover in the morning, becoming largely clear as the day progresses.

The wind will blow from the northeast, occasionally reaching strong intervals on the northwestern and southeastern slopes of the mountainous islands, with the possibility of very strong gusts later in the day.
Out at sea, winds from the north or northeast will range from force 4 to 5, creating moderate seas that will become rougher offshore. A northerly swell of around one metre is also expected.
