The meteorological update for this July 5th identifies San Bartolomé de Tirajana as the hottest point in the archipelago. In the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the highest temperature was recorded in La Laguna, specifically at the Llano de los Loros station, where thermometers reached 32.9 degrees.
In response to the rising temperatures, the Government of the Canary Islands has declared a forest fire risk alert for Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Authorities are urging the public to exercise extreme caution in forest areas and to avoid any activities that could spark fires, given the dry conditions and the state of the terrain.
The forecast for the coming hours indicates clear skies with light haze at high altitudes, which is expected to spread across the islands. Temperatures are set to continue rising, particularly in inland areas and mid-altitudes, where the heat is expected to be most intense throughout the remainder of the weekend.
