According to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the islands are starting Christmas week with clear skies, some light clouds this afternoon, sunshine, light winds, and haze in the eastern islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Temperatures are also expected to rise slightly as the archipelago heads towards a yellow Christmas, from the amount of sunshine.
