The Consortium for Security and Emergencies recommends extreme caution and avoiding outdoor sports, leisure, recreational, and cultural activities until 6:00 PM this Wednesday, November 11, due to the forecast of strong wind gusts.
This measure, adopted under the Canary Islands Specific Plan for Risks of Adverse Meteorological Phenomena (PEFMA), is based on information from the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) and other sources. Winds are expected to reach or exceed 90 kilometers per hour, particularly on the north and northwest slopes of both islands.
The recommendation now extends to the entire municipality of Tinajo and the town of Playa Blanca (municipality of Yaiza). Previously, it already affected Muñique, Tao, Soo, and La Caleta de Famara (municipality of Teguise), as well as the entire territory of La Graciosa.
The Cabildo and the Consortium for Security and Emergencies emphasize the importance of following emergency service recommendations, avoiding unnecessary travel and activities in open spaces, and exercising extreme caution regarding potential detachments or falling objects.
Citizens are also reminded to secure doors, windows, awnings, and any items on balconies, terraces, or rooftops that could be displaced by the wind.
The Cabildo will continue to monitor the meteorological situation and will communicate any updates to preventive recommendations through its official channels.
