The Canary Islands will continue to see largely settled weather today, Wednesday, although some islands could experience occasional light rain, according to the latest reports from the Spanish Met Office, AEMET.

Skies will generally remain mostly clear with intervals of high cloud, but cloud cover will increase in northern areas of some islands. Weak and occasional showers are more likely in La Palma and Tenerife during the afternoon, particularly inland.

Temperatures will see little overall change, although some inland and higher areas may notice a slight drop compared to earlier in the week.

Wind and Sea Conditions

Moderate north-easterly trade winds will continue, with strong intervals expected along north-western and south-eastern coastal areas during the afternoon. In mid-altitude and summit areas, winds will be light and variable, although Tenerife’s central peaks may see moderate south-westerly winds strengthening at times.

At sea, variable winds of force 2 to 4 are forecast, becoming east to north-east force 3 or 4 and locally strengthening to force 5 in some areas. Conditions will range from slight to moderate, with a north or north-westerly swell of around one metre.
