SATURDAY WEATHER: A warm November day across the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are set for a generally settled day today, Saturday 14th November, with a mixture of cloud and sunshine as the islands continue to recover from the recent storms.

Cloud is likely to be more noticeable in the north and over inland areas, particularly during the afternoon. A few light showers are possible, although many coastal areas can expect sunny spells.

Winds will generally be light from the northeast, becoming stronger in some exposed areas later in the day.

Sea conditions and alerts

The sea is expected to be generally calm, although it may be choppier offshore. A north-westerly swell of around one to two metres is forecast, so beachgoers should continue to check local conditions and follow beach flags.

The flood-risk pre-alert for Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura ended at 3.00pm yesterday, Friday, following the improvement in conditions after Storm Charles.

Today’s forecast for each of the islands:

TENERIFE
Tenerife can expect a mixture of cloud and sunshine, with cloud building over inland areas during the afternoon. A few light, scattered showers cannot be ruled out, particularly over the south and east at higher elevations.

Coastal areas, including Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos and Las Américas, should see some brighter spells. In the north, around Puerto de la Cruz, cloud may be more noticeable at times.

Coastal daytime temperatures are forecast to range from 23–27°C, with little change from recent days. Winds will generally be light from the northeast, although they may become stronger in the southeast and far northwest during the afternoon.

Gran Canaria will see cloudy intervals, particularly in the north during the morning and evening. There is a low chance of a light, occasional shower.

The south of the island, including Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico, can expect sunny spells, although some cloud may develop inland. Winds will be light to moderate from the northeast, becoming stronger in parts of the southeast and northwest later.

Temperatures are expected to remain mild with a minimum of 21°C and a maximum of 25°C across the island.
