The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has declared an orange alert for Lanzarote, La Gomera, and the summits and southern areas of Gran Canaria due to strong winds, with a yellow warning for the rest of the islands. Extreme caution is advised at sea due to adverse coastal phenomena.
This alert situation will start on Tuesday, 9th April, at midnight, with maximum gusts of 90 kilometres per hour mainly affecting the southeast slopes of Gran Canaria, interior south areas of Lanzarote, and the summits of La Gomera and Gran Canaria.
The rest of the areas will also not escape the wrath of the god Aeolus, as AEMET predicts maximum gusts of 80 km/h, especially affecting regularly exposed areas. Additionally, occasional gusts reaching 90 km/h are possible in the El Paso area, Punta de Teno, high summits of Tenerife, and the extreme northwest of Gran Canaria.
