Haze and high temperatures are returning to the Canary Islands

Temperatures are forecast to experience a slight rise today (Wednesday) in the Canary Islands, primarily in inland areas, and the eastern islands (Lanzarote and Fuerteventura) could be affected by a light layer of high-altitude haze, according to the forecast by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

AEMET predicts mostly clear skies, except for intervals of high-level clouds, with some intervals of low cloud cover in the western islands.

There will be a light northeast wind, shifting to the southwest in higher areas during the afternoon, and in the central summits of Tenerife, there will be a moderate southwest wind with occasional strong gusts in the latter half of the day.

Regarding sea conditions, the wind will generally blow from the northeast with a force of 2 to 4 along most of the Canary coasts. The sea state will be calm to slight, with a northwesterly swell of up to 2 metres.
