The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued warnings for persistent and moderate rainfall, as well as wind gusts that could reach 80 kilometers per hour. This unstable weather is expected to continue at least until the weekend, according to forecasts.
Since early this morning, the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands has activated a pre-alert for strong winds. Additionally, the entire autonomous community has been on alert for coastal phenomena since 8:00 AM this Thursday, April 9, with waves potentially reaching up to six meters in height.
The storm has significantly affected air travel, forcing eight flights to be diverted to alternative airports. The island of Fuerteventura was the most impacted, where five connections were unable to land due to adverse weather conditions.
Although the calendar indicates that Canary Islands are in spring, the reality on the archipelago's streets is different, with open umbrellas, constantly moving trees, and coats being the most common sight. The northern and western slopes of the larger islands will experience light to moderately heavy rainfall. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote will also see instability, with the possibility of some stormy conditions as the front approaches the insular territory.
