The eve of San Juan night has presented an unusual scene in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. A blanket of fog accompanied by weak rains has covered the city since early Tuesday morning, contrasting with the clear skies and beach weather experienced the previous day. Despite the arrival of humidity and precipitation, mugginess remains a dominant factor, with an elevated thermal sensation.
The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) had already announced cloudy skies for Tuesday in the north of Gran Canaria, with a probability of light drizzles towards the end of the day, especially in midland areas.
Temperatures will barely experience significant changes, fluctuating between 25 degrees Celsius maximum and 21 degrees minimum in the capital. The high environmental humidity, reinforced by the incoming cloud cover and precipitation, contributes to an increased feeling of heat and mugginess, even though the thermometers are not registering particularly high values.
In the rest of Gran Canaria, partly cloudy skies predominate, while in other areas of the eastern islands, the sky remains mostly clear. The wind is blowing moderately from the north, with some intervals of strong intensity on the east and west slopes of the island.
The Aemet forecast for the coming days points to a progressive stabilization of the weather. On Wednesday, clouds and some weak, occasional rain may still occur in the north of the larger islands during the first half of the day, while on Thursday, mostly clear or clear skies are expected to prevail across most of the archipelago, with temperatures showing no significant changes and moderate northeasterly winds.
