Rain and haze set to hit the Canary Islands this Saturday
The Canary Islands are set for a mix of rain, haze, and strong winds this Saturday, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), which has issued yellow weather warnings across the archipelago for the weekend.
Aemet forecasts light haze over the eastern islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, and a chance of scattered, occasional rainfall on the eastern slopes of the western islands. Cloudy intervals will dominate the northern areas, while temperatures are expected to remain largely unchanged.
In La Palma, rainfall could reach or exceed 60 litres per square metre in 12 hours across the eastern midlands, prompting heightened attention from local authorities.
Winds will mainly blow from the northeast, with strong intervals likely on northwest and southeast slopes. On the southwest coasts of the mountainous islands, breezes will predominate, while summit areas can expect easterly winds.
Maritime conditions will also be affected, with northeast winds at force 4 to 6 and moderate to heavy seas. A north swell of 1 to 2 metres is expected to build, along with showers around the western islands.
