AEMET has updated the yellow and orange weather warnings for several Canary Islands this weekend due to the passage of a DANA, and has extended them until Sunday. Given this situation, the Canarian Government has issued three pre-alerts for wind, waves and rain, while the Directorate of Civil Protection and Security has also issued an alert across the islands due to heavy rains, storms and hailstorms.
This situation has led to many recreational activities and outdoor events being cancelled or rescheduled by local councils, so please check their official social media pages for updates.
These are the active yellow and orange warnings for the Canary Islands over the weekend:
Yellow warning for rain all day from midnight 11:59pm, so it is not ruled out that it will be extended to Sunday. It will affect the east, south and west of the island and the metropolitan area. Accumulated precipitation of up to 15 millimetres in one hour is expected, especially in inland areas.
In addition, there is a second yellow warning for storms that came into effect at 3:00am this morning and will last until 6:00pm tonight. It will affect the northern area, the metropolitan area and the eastern, southern and western slopes of the island.
