The Canary Islands are set to experience more intense rain today, Wednesday, especially in the more mountainous islands (Tenerife and La Palma) and Lanzarote, according to the latest forecast from Spain's Meteorological Agency (AEMET).
There will be light to moderate rain this morning, in the northern parts of Tenerife, La Palma and Lanzarote, and later in the afternoon inland in mountainous areas, where showers could develop into heavier downpours of up to 15mm per hour of rainfall.
There is also a chance of thunderstorms in the northern areas of these islands.
Lanzarote, currently under pre-alert for heavy rainfall and flood risk, is expected to be cloudy in the morning, with the possibility of strong rain diminishing by the evening. Temperatures are forecast to show a slight to moderate rise in the morning lows, while afternoon highs will see a slight to moderate drop, particularly in the interior regions of the mountainous islands.
Winds will be light to moderate from the west, shifting to the northeast as the day progresses, and intensifying this afternoon. Over the seas, winds from the west or southwest will gradually weaken throughout the day. Expect choppy waters that will calm to a slight swell by the afternoon, with waves reaching up to two metres from the northwest.
Cloudy skies with possible light to moderate rain in the morning, and a small chance of thunderstorms in the northern parts. Rain is expected to ease by late afternoon. Winds will shift from the southwest to the northeast as the day progresses.
