On Tuesday, the Cabildo of Tenerife advised residents to exercise heightened caution when engaging in activities in the mountains due to the potential danger posed by falling trees and branches following Storm Dorothea’s passage over the island.
With the deactivation of Tenerife’s island emergency plan, recreational areas, camping sites, and access to forest paths and trails have been permitted. Additionally, foot access to the trails in Teide National Park and the Masca Ravine is allowed in accordance with existing regulations.
Amid the “numerous incidents” caused by the storm, the Minister for the Natural Environment, Blanca Pérez, noted that repairs have been completed on the Aguamansa canal, which serves the northern and metropolitan regions of the island.
Furthermore, the island authority highlighted that electricity supply issues affecting around 10,000 residents on Sunday evening have now been rectified.
The Tenerife Cabildo also reminds everyone that the General Directorate of Emergencies for the Government of the Canary Islands issued a pre-alert for haze on Monday.
This haze episode, varying in intensity and at times dense, will predominantly impact the southern slopes, potentially reducing visibility to under 3,000 m and presenting health risks for individuals with chronic or respiratory conditions.
