The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued an update today, Wednesday (12th March), extending yellow weather warnings across the Canary Islands due to adverse coastal conditions.
Additionally, La Palma will have a separate yellow warning from 5:00pm for strong gusts of wind that could reach up to 70 kilometres per hour, particularly in high-altitude areas and the municipality of El Paso.
Among the significant weather events expected to impact the archipelago, AEMET has highlighted the potential for locally strong gusts of wind in the central peaks and Dorsal Ridge of Tenerife, as well as in the highlands of El Hierro, particularly in the afternoon.

Tomorrow, Thursday, north-westerly combined seas are expected to affect Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura from 6:00am onwards, with waves potentially reaching up to five metres in height.
In the province of Las Palmas, particularly in Gran Canaria, winds ranging between 50 and 61 kilometres per hour are also expected.
