SATURDAY WEATHER: Sunny spells as temperatures ease across the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands will have a mix of sunshine and cloud this Saturday, 17th October, with temperatures dropping towards the average for this time of year, after the recent warmer weather.
There will still be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, although conditions will vary around the islands. Cloud will become more noticeable in some areas later, bringing a chance of rain.
Light calima — fine Saharan dust in the atmosphere — is expected to clear gradually from midday, improving the outlook in higher areas.
At The Beach and Outdoors
A north-westerly swell of one to two metres will affect exposed coastlines. Conditions will differ between sheltered bays and open beaches, so follow the flags and lifeguards’ instructions before entering the water.
Sun protection remains useful during bright spells. For evening plans, take a light layer, particularly if you will be sitting outside or heading inland.
