Storm Therese Triggers Road Closures and Landslide Risks in Northern Tenerife

Storm Therese continues to cause travel disruption in the north of Tenerife, according to local reports. The most significant issue is the closure of the road between Los Silos and El Tanque, which has been shut for safety reasons due to unstable ground.

This route is a vital link for local residents and a key alternative for those traveling to the south of the island. The situation has worsened after debris fell in at least two locations. Such incidents are common in the island’s volcanic terrain during heavy rain or strong winds, highlighting how vulnerable secondary roads can be during bad weather.

Authorities are urging the public to be extremely cautious and to avoid the area. Because the ground is saturated and the weather remains poor, there is still a risk of further landslides. As a result, maintenance crews have had to delay clearing the road until it is safe to work. The road will remain closed until weather conditions improve and experts can confirm that the slopes are stable.
