The Canary Islands are set for a mixed weather day on Monday, 28 September, with patchy clouds, occasional rain, high-altitude haze, and temperatures that could reach or exceed 30°C in some areas.
According to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), the day will start unsettled, especially in the morning, with cloudy skies and a low chance of showers across the archipelago. There may even be isolated thunderstorms during the early hours.
The high-altitude haze is expected to continue but should gradually diminish throughout the day. Aemet has indicated that no significant weather events are anticipated. Temperatures are likely to remain stable or slightly decrease in some coastal areas.
The morning will be marked by intermittent clouds and brief rain in various parts of the islands. As the day progresses, conditions are expected to improve with clearer skies, particularly in the afternoon, although some cloud cover may linger in the interior of the mountainous regions.
Haze from suspended dust will still be present in some areas but is expected to reduce as the day goes on, coinciding with more stable weather overall. Light easterly winds and coastal breezes will be prevalent, creating calm conditions near the shore, while a gentle westerly wind is forecast for the mountain peaks.
In terms of temperatures, while there may be a slight drop in some locations, many areas could still reach or surpass 30°C, particularly in mid-altitude and low-lying regions. In the capitals, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is expected to see temperatures between 24°C and 30°C, while Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will range from 24°C to 28°C.
In summary, Monday will begin with cloudy and potentially rainy conditions, shifting to clearer skies by the afternoon, with warm temperatures persisting across the islands.
