The Spanish Met Office (AEMET) are forecasting cloudy intervals for the Canary Islands today, Friday, with predominantly overcast skies in the northern regions of mountainous islands. Light, scattered, and occasional rain is expected in these areas.
As Storm Garoé continues to weaken, La Palma remains the only island under a yellow weather alert for rain.
