The Canary Archipelago begins to stabilize after the winter storm

The Canary Islands are still feeling the effects of the weather episode that struck them, with persistent rains, strong winds, and snow in the highlands. However, the atmosphere is showing the first signs of calm 🌤️.

Progressive improvement in the weather

For this weekend, forecasts indicate that the situation is tending to normalize. Cloudy intervals and only light precipitation are expected, mainly affecting the north and midlands of the islands. The wind and sea conditions will gradually lose strength.

Expected conditions:
  • Intervals of clouds and clear skies with a probability of drizzle.
  • The wind is calming, especially in coastal areas.
  • The sea is progressively reducing its agitation.
While some are reaching for the umbrella, others in the highlands still need their wool hat, a reminder of the islands' climatic diversity.

Attention to persistent effects

Despite the improvement, some adverse phenomena continue. Snow and ice on mountain roads can complicate travel. Additionally, the sea may remain altered on certain coasts, so extreme caution is recommended.

Risks to consider:
  • Presence of ice and snow on summit roads.
  • The sea may still be rough in some coastal areas.
  • Authorities are constantly monitoring the evolution.

Conclusion on the situation

The Canary Archipelago is transitioning from an intense storm to a phase of greater stability. Although the weather is improving, it is crucial to maintain vigilance in the most affected areas, such as the highlands and the coastline, until conditions fully normalize ⚠️.
