As the Canary Islands kick off the week, the weather forecast predicts a mix of cloudy skies and potential rainfall by the end of the day. According to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the northeast wind is expected to blow moderately across the archipelago today, Monday, with stronger gusts likely in the southeast and northwest regions. Meanwhile, light winds will prevail in higher altitudes, and southern and southwestern coasts will experience breezes.
The forecast suggests predominantly cloudy skies in the northern parts of the higher-altitude islands, with some clear spells around midday. There is a possibility of light, sporadic rain towards the evening.
In contrast, the rest of the islands are expected to enjoy mostly clear or slightly cloudy skies, with temperatures remaining relatively stable.
For those at sea, winds from the north or northeast will range from force 4 to 6 along the northeast and southeast coasts, as well as some western points of the archipelago.
Expect moderate seas, with localised areas experiencing rougher conditions and a northern swell reaching heights of one to two metres.
