In a weather update from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) for Tuesday in the Canary Islands, residents and tourists can expect a notable presence of Calima, contributing to hazy skies that may become more intense in the eastern islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura during the latter part of the day.
Temperature-wise, a slight decrease is anticipated, particularly in inland areas, with the eastern islands experiencing moderate winds from the southeast, intensifying during central hours. The overall atmospheric conditions suggest a generally calm day with intervals of high clouds and moderate winds.
In terms of sea conditions, the forecast indicates winds from the east and southeast ranging from force 2 to 4 and 5, with variable winds between 1 to 3. Additionally, areas of swell and waves from the northwest measuring 1 to 2 metres are predicted, reaching up to 2 and 3 metres on the islands of La Palma and El Hierro.
