Although the dust in the suspension has decreased in intensity, the forecast is that it will continue until the weekend, attenuated by the rainfall that began on Tuesday morning. That day, 11.4 liters per square meter were collected in Izana and 10.2 in Las Cañadas del Teide, on the island of Tenerife; 2.4 liters in Plains of the Fish, in Gran Canaria; and 2.2 liters in Frontera, in El Hierro.
