The Canary Archipelago enters a yellow warning this Tuesday due to very strong gusts of wind that may exceed 70 kilometers per hour in all the islands of the eastern province, as well as in Tenerife and La Gomera, which also implies a new installment of haze that , according to the State Meteorological Agency, can significantly reduce visibility on the islands of La Graciosa, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
In addition, a slight to moderate increase in maximum temperatures is expected, some values that were again around yesterday, and even comfortably exceeded, 28 degrees Celsius in the town of Tasarte in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicolás, or 26 degrees centigrade at midday in Maspalomas.
This, with a wind that also exceeded 70 kilometers per hour, as was the case in Agaete, where gusts of up to 74 kilometers per hour blew, as well as in Fuencaliente, La Palma, with an identical record.
To this we must add some skies, although not as cloudy as in previous days, above what is recommended by the WHO, such as 100 micrograms of PM10 particles per cubic meter in Arrecife late yesterday afternoon; the 159 micrograms of PM10 in Puerto del Rosario at six in the afternoon; or 72 micrograms at the same time in the Central Market of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
These values could be exceeded today, with a dust transported by a wind that will blow from the northeast first to turn from the southeast from the first hours of the day and pick up power as the hours go by. This wind will be felt more intensely on the western slopes of the easternmost islands as well as on the summits and western and northeastern bands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife and La Gomera.
For tomorrow, Wednesday, that haze will move towards Tenerife, again due to very strong winds in the north and west of the islands of the province of Las Palmas, as well as in Tenerife and La Gomera from the southeast. Temperatures will be similar but skies with medium and high cloudiness will predominate, according to the Aemet forecast.
Thursday will be on the eve of completing two consecutive weeks of haze, with no sign of a change in trend, since one more day a moderate southeast wind is forecast but with strong intervals in the eastern islands during the first of the day, to the point that dust in suspension is not only expected on those four islands, but it even affects the rest of the archipelago in a somewhat lighter way.
