Strong winds and poor sea conditions will issue a yellow warning for Tenerife on Thursday, 4 June, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). A similar situation is expected in Gran Canaria, while the other western islands and Lanzarote will be under yellow warnings due to wind only.
Specifically, maximum gusts of 70 kilometres per hour are expected. Winds from the northeast will affect the peaks and the southeast slopes of the mountainous islands. This will also include the northwest slopes in La Palma, La Gomera, and Gran Canaria, as well as the far west of El Hierro and Tenerife, where local gusts may exceed 80 kilometres per hour.
Regarding the sea, forecasts indicate winds from the northeast of 50 to 61 kilometres per hour (force 7) in the channel between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, and in the southeast of Gran Canaria.
