More weather warnings as a Saharan air mass brings extreme temperatures

The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has activated yellow weather warnings for heat starting tomorrow (Tuesday) in the Canary Islands, as temperatures will be driven up by an air mass from the Sahara which will also bring haze with it.

Throughout the islands of Tenerife and Fuerteventura, there will be a yellow warning tomorrow, where thermometers are expected to reach 34 degrees by 11:00am.

Then from 11:00am, the warning will also be activated on the southern, eastern, and western slopes of Gran Canaria, with temperatures up to 36 degrees.

On Wednesday morning this warning will increase to orange (significant risk) for the southern, eastern and western slopes of Gran Canaria, with temperatures above 37 degrees, while at the summit of Gran Canaria (36°) and the south, east and west of Tenerife (34°) will remain at a yellow warning.
