Windy conditions expected on Sunday with moderate gusts from the Northeast, including intense bursts in southeastern and northwestern areas, as well as the summits and ridges of the mountainous islands, where there may be very strong gusts. This has prompted the State Meteorology Agency to issue Yellow warnings in several regions of the archipelago.
Specifically, on Sunday, yellow warnings will be in effect due to wind gusts that might exceed 70 kilometres per hour in La Gomera and Gran Canaria, with warnings for rough seas along the coasts of both this island and Tenerife.
In the northern parts of the mountainous islands, expect overcast skies with a chance of light, sporadic rain, primarily during the early part of the day, while other areas will generally be partly cloudy. There will be minimal changes in temperature.
Regarding sea conditions, Aemet forecasts winds from the northeast at speeds of 50 to 61 kilometres per hour (force 7) along the southeastern coast of Tenerife, as well as the southeast and west of Gran Canaria. In other areas, winds will range from force 3 to 5, potentially reaching force 6, especially in inland waters. Generally, there will be swells or rough swells, particularly from the north or northwest, with wave heights reaching up to two metres.
