The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) anticipates that this Wednesday, the Alisio wind will blow, with intervals of strong and potentially very strong gusts, particularly along the southeast and northwest slopes of the mountainous islands in the Canary Islands.
In the skies, there will be cloud cover with clear breaks during the central hours in the north of the Islands, while other areas will experience mostly clear skies.
In the sea, winds will be from the northeast at force 4 or 5, possibly increasing to force 6, especially along the southeast coast and northwest of the mountainous islands, as well as on the east and west of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. There may be rough seas or significant swells in the eastern province and Tenerife, with slight waves in the remainder, along with sea conditions in the north reaching one to two metres in height.
