The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued its forecast for today, Thursday, predicting a mix of cloud, occasional rain showers across parts of the Canary Islands, particularly in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura where thunderstorms are also possible.

The pre-alert came into effect at 6:00am this morning and only covers the aforementioned islands, although AEMET has not ruled out light rain in the mid-mountain areas of the other islands during the morning and in inland areas this afternoon.

Temperatures will remain stable or rise slightly, with light to moderate northeasterly winds, turning variable and light in the highlands.

At sea, winds will blow from the northeast at force 3 to 4, occasionally reaching 5, producing moderate seas. Elsewhere, conditions will be calmer with slight seas. A north swell is also expected, with waves of 1 to 2 metres.
