The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued its weather forecast for today, Monday, predicting mostly clear skies across the Canary Islands, a slight rise in temperatures, and light to moderate winds.
In Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria, the wind will generally come from the northeast and will be influenced by sea breezes. In the rest of the archipelago, it will be from the south.
However, conditions are expected to change later in the day, particularly in La Palma, where winds will strengthen considerably in the afternoon, with strong gusts anticipated in exposed areas.
As for maritime conditions, light variable winds are forecast (force 1 to 4), along with coastal breezes. The state of the sea will vary between slight and smooth, with a northwest swell bringing waves of 1 to 2 metres, increasing to 2 to 3 metres later in the day.
