WEDNESDAY WEATHER: Strong winds but warm temperatures in the Canary Islands
Strong winds are set to sweep across much of the Canary Islands again today, Wednesday, accompanied by some cloud and the chance of light, occasional rain. According to AEMET, night-time temperatures will edge upwards, while daytime highs remain steady.
Six islands are once more under a yellow weather warning as the winds, initially light to moderate from the west, will shift to a north-westerly direction and strengthen through the day.
Occasional strong gusts are expected, particularly inland and at higher altitudes. Offshore, westerly to north-westerly winds will reach force 3 to 4, occasionally 5 in some areas. Seas will build from slight to moderate, with a north-westerly swell of 2–3 metres in places and up to 4 metres elsewhere.
