The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued a weather forecast for the Canary Islands, predicting a rainy Sunday for Tenerife and the western islands along with strong winds and minimal changes in temperatures. The most affected areas include La Palma and Tenerife, where wind speeds on high peaks could reach up to 100 km/h.
The winds are expected to blow from the southwest, occasionally becoming very strong, especially in mountainous areas. However, by the end of the day, the wind should start decreasing and shift to a north-westerly direction.
Sea Conditions:
Winds at sea will vary between light and moderate (force 1 to 3), with stronger north-westerly winds (force 4 to 6) expected later in the day. The seas will range from slight to rough, with swells of 1 to 2 metres with occasional rainfall.
