The Canary Islands are preparing to face several days of intense heat, with temperatures that could locally exceed 40 degrees Celsius in areas of Gran Canaria, such as the Tejeda basin and the southeastern and western midlands. In Tenerife, the heat will be concentrated in the midlands and southeastern areas of the Metropolitan Area, potentially also affecting coastal zones.
The meteorological situation will be marked by a mass of warm, dry air, with relative humidity below 30% in midlands and high areas. The possible presence of light dust haze is also expected. The northeast wind, with strong gusts in exposed areas, will increase the danger and the risk of forest fire propagation.
Forecasts indicate a progressive increase in fire risk over the coming days, with a particular focus on Monday. The situation will be under constant monitoring, with the possibility of updating the territorial scope of the maximum INFOCA alert based on the evolution of meteorological predictions and risk indices.
