Canary Islands Brace for Unseasonably High Temperatures Reaching 30°C

The Canary Islands will remain under stable weather conditions this Monday, with unusually high temperatures for this time of year, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). Thermometers are expected to reach 30°C, with the southern part of Tenerife and its metropolitan area feeling the heat most intensely.

The islands' varied landscape will create a split in the weather. While northern mountainous areas may see some cloud cover and light, early-morning rain at mid-altitudes, the rest of the region will enjoy clear skies. A similar pattern is expected in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, where morning clouds will clear as the day progresses.

Temperatures are rising due to light-to-moderate north and northeasterly winds. However, the high peaks of Tenerife will experience different conditions, with strong westerly winds. This combination of high-altitude winds and thermal inversion is a key factor for local authorities, who are monitoring the situation closely due to the sensitivity of the ecosystem.

Overall, the archipelago remains under a warm air mass. While there is some minor instability in the north, the trend is for clear, sunny skies across the islands by the afternoon. Residents and visitors in areas reaching 30°C are advised to remain cautious as the warm weather persists.
