Cloudier skies and light rain are set to return to parts of the Canary Islands today, Friday, particularly across northern and mid-altitude areas, according to the latest forecast from AEMET.

Despite the cloud and drizzle expected in northern areas, southern tourist resorts across the islands are likely to continue enjoying warm temperatures and long sunny spells heading into the weekend.

At sea, moderate north-easterly winds force 4 to 5 are expected, along with moderate wave conditions.

This change in weather marks a return to more typical late spring conditions in the Canary Islands after several unusually hot and hazy days earlier this week.
