The Canary Islands archipelago dawns with cloudy skies and light rains

The day in the Canary Islands begins under a blanket of clouds covering most of the sky. This scenario favors some precipitation, although light and sporadic at various points in the archipelago. Throughout the day, these drizzles may appear intermittently, without ruling out that the sky clears at times, especially near the southern coasts. 🌧️

Temperatures remain at pleasant levels

The mercury shows no significant changes. The expected maximum values are between 20 and 24 degrees, while the minimums will range between 16 and 19 degrees. Humidity in the air is high, which may make the environment feel cooler, although not cold. The wind blows from the north with moderate intensity, more noticeable in midland areas and summits.

Characteristics of the current environment:
  • Predominantly overcast skies with abundant cloudiness.
  • Light precipitation appearing sporadically and intermittently.
  • Stable and mild temperatures, typical of the season.
A perfect day to see the green landscape left by the rain, although maybe not for hanging clothes outside.

Stability marks the forecast for the coming hours

Weather models do not foresee significant changes in the short term. Conditions are expected to remain similar for the rest of the day and also for Friday. Cloudiness will persist along with the probability of light drizzles, mainly on the north and east slopes of the more rugged islands.

Aspects to consider:
  • The sea will be choppy or with a swell, so caution is recommended for nautical activities.
  • The north-component wind will continue blowing with moderate intensity.
  • High relative humidity will persist due to the presence of clouds and rain.

A day with the typical Canary uncertainty

The day invites enjoying the rejuvenated landscape by the rain, but also poses the classic uncertainty: carry an umbrella or trust that no water will fall just as you go out. The dominant weather pattern of clouds and light drizzles defines the character of the day in the archipelago. ☁️
