High temperatures are forecast for Monday and Tuesday, varying by island. Fuerteventura could register maximums of up to 37 degrees, or even higher, while Lanzarote could reach 36 degrees. The heat will spread from inland areas to the southern and southeastern coastal zones of both islands.
In Gran Canaria, maximums could reach 34 degrees on Monday in the south and west, with peaks of 35. On Tuesday, up to 37 degrees are expected in the southern half and the southeastern coast, and up to 34-35 degrees in the northern midlands.
Tenerife will experience maximums of 32-33 degrees on Monday in the southern and western midlands and metropolitan areas, potentially reaching 35 degrees locally on Tuesday in southern midlands and up to 36 in the southern slope of the metropolitan area.
La Gomera anticipates 34-35 degrees on Tuesday in southern peaks and midlands, extending to the west coast. On La Palma, maximums will be around 30 degrees on Monday in western midlands, rising to 32 on Tuesday in those areas and the northwest, with up to 31 degrees in other midlands and peaks.
El Hierro could reach 31-32 degrees on Tuesday across much of the island, except on the coasts where temperatures will be more moderate, with highs of 33-34 degrees in El Pinar and northeastern peaks.
Added to the high temperatures is a generalized calima event starting Monday morning, with Saharan dust causing unfavorable or very unfavorable air quality. The highest concentrations are expected in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, exceeding 100 micrograms per cubic meter, and in the midlands and peaks of other islands, with particular impact anticipated in central and high areas of Gran Canaria and La Palma.
The Government of the Canary Islands reminds the public that the combination of heat and calima can worsen health problems, especially for vulnerable groups, and urges adherence to self-protection recommendations and official advisories.
