Strong Wind and Cloud Cover Persist in the North of the Canary Islands. Dense cloud cover and strong winds remain in the north of the Canary Islands. An advisory for gusts of up to 80 km/h is in effect in certain areas of Tenerife. Temperatures in southern zones approach 30 degrees.
Dense cloud cover persists in the north of the Canary Islands for the second day in a row. According to local services, the clouds remain mainly in the northern areas of the archipelago and are expected to stay there for the next few hours as well. Meanwhile, the wind is intensifying: in some locations, gusts exceeding 70–80 km/h have been recorded, which has already led to official warnings being issued in the northeastern part of Tenerife.
Authorities note that strong winds will persist not only today but also tomorrow, and in some areas may even intensify. In the southern regions of Gran Canaria, air temperatures are rising to nearly 30 degrees, while in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, maximum values may reach 28 degrees. Despite the challenging weather, no significant temperature changes are expected.
At the start of the new week, meteorologists forecast continued dense cloud cover in the north, while southern areas will remain mostly sunny. The wind, driven by strengthened trade winds, will continue to influence weather conditions, but precipitation is unlikely—if it occurs at all, it will be very light and only in isolated spots in the northeast of Tenerife or the north of Gran Canaria.
Particular attention is being paid to sea conditions: a significant deterioration is expected on the water, including strong waves and even rough seas in some parts of the archipelago. As a result, additional warnings about potential hazardous coastal phenomena have been issued, especially for the central and western parts of the islands.
The temperature in the coming days will remain stable: up to 29 degrees is forecast in Santa Lucía de Tirajana. By comparison, mainland Spain is also experiencing unstable weather conditions at the start of June, which has already led to transport restrictions in Madrid and Barcelona — more details about this can be found in the article on traffic restrictions due to the Pope's visit. In the Canary Islands, meanwhile, the main focus is currently on maritime safety and warnings for residents of northern areas.
The Canary Islands are traditionally affected by trade winds, which bring clouds and winds, especially in the summer. In recent years, local authorities have been regularly introducing enhanced safety measures during adverse weather conditions to minimize risks for transport and tourists. It is important to note that warnings about strong winds and rough seas can affect ferry schedules and port operations, as well as beach safety along the northern and western coasts.
