MONDAY WEATHER: Strong Winds with Rising Temperatures forecast across the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are set for a blustery start to the week, with strong winds and rising temperatures expected across much of the archipelago today, according to the latest forecasts from AEMET. Weather warnings remain in place for rough seas and powerful gusts of up to 70km/h, and are expected to continue throughout Monday.
Forecasters say maximum temperatures will increase slightly, particularly in inland areas, while coastal regions are likely to remain largely unchanged.
At sea, conditions will be rough, with strong north-easterly winds reaching force 5 to 7, and waves building from around two metres to as much as four metres later in the day.

Cloudy in the north early and late in the day, with brighter spells in between. A chance of light rain during the morning, mainly in mid-level areas. The rest of the island will be mostly clear. Temperatures will edge up inland and in higher areas, especially in the south. Winds from the north-east will be moderate to strong, with very strong gusts likely in exposed areas and at higher altitudes.

Residents and visitors are advised to take care, particularly in coastal and exposed areas, as conditions may become hazardous due to wind and rough seas.
Please remember:
It’s important to be aware that the Canaries consist of micro-climates across the islands due to the mountainous areas. This means all forecasts and temperatures are general for the island, and not location specific. It will generally be cooler at altitude up mountains, and warmer in sheltered coastal areas, and can be very different just a few kilometres away.
