The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) are forecasting light calima (haze) and intervals of strong winds in the Canary Islands for today, Tuesday. Wind gusts could be particularly intense during the early hours in areas traditionally exposed to trade winds, with occasional locally very strong gusts not ruled out.
The concentration of haze is expected to be more noticeable inland in the eastern and southern regions of Gran Canaria, and it may also affect the southern parts of Tenerife and the western islands during the second half of the day.
Meanwhile, skies will remain mostly clear, and temperatures will remain stable or experience a slight increase.
At sea, moderate to strong northeast or north winds are expected, reaching Force 6 offshore. The sea state will range from moderate to rough, with a northwesterly swell of 2 to 3 metres.
