The Canary Islands are under the influence of a storm bringing cloudy skies, light rainfall, strong wind gusts, and heavy swells, with yellow warnings issued by Aemet.

This Saturday in the Canary Islands will be characterized by predominantly cloudy skies, particularly in the northern areas of the more mountainous islands. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has forecast the likelihood of light precipitation, mainly concentrated during the central hours of the day. In the rest of the archipelago, partly cloudy skies with occasional intervals are expected.
The most significant meteorological phenomenon anticipated for these days is the strong wind gusts. These will be moderate to strong and from the north, so extreme caution is advised. The summit areas and the eastern and western slopes of the more mountainous islands will be most affected by this phenomenon.
Given this situation, Aemet has activated yellow warnings for winds and adverse coastal phenomena on several islands. The public is advised to stay informed through official channels and take appropriate safety measures to prevent incidents.
