Thursday Weather: Some cloud, light rain and temperatures up to 30°C
The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) is forecasting partly cloudy skies across much of the Canary Islands today, Thursday, with little change in temperatures and the chance of light rain in some areas.
At sea, northeasterly winds of force 4 to 6 are expected, bringing rough to strong swells around all islands. A ground swell from the north and northwest could create waves of 2 to 4 metres, so caution is advised for those planning coastal or maritime activities.

Tourist summary:
- Best bets for sunshine: The southern resorts of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura should stay largely sunny and warm.
- Where showers are most likely: Northern Tenerife and Gran Canaria, especially in mid-altitude areas, may see some light rain.
- Beachgoers: Temperatures remain perfect for swimming and sunbathing, but rough seas and strong swells (2–4m) mean extra caution is advised if entering the ocean. Stick to supervised beaches with lifeguards and respect flag warnings.
