The presence of snow in the Teide National Park motivated the closure of the accesses to the Teide National Park for most of the day due to the accumulation of ice on the road. During the weekend there was a drop in temperatures that gave way to the snowfall that yesterday was the object of all the objectives. The Observatory of Astrophysical Institute of the Canary Islands (IAC) in Izaña he woke up with a white cloak.
As a precautionary measure, the Council of Tenerife chose to leave out of service the arrival roads to the area. Around 10:00 a.m. yesterday, due to the presence of snow, the TF-24, the access road to the National Park through La Esperanza, between kilometers 24 and 42, was closed to traffic. The same measure was applied in the TF-21, which runs through La Orotava. In this case, the reopening took place around three in the afternoon, with the closure of the TF-24 extending until eight at night.
in the early afternoon some episodes of rain were recorded, including hail in the case of Tacoronte. Arona was another of the areas where the water caused traffic difficulties.
The prediction of the State Meteorological Agency of Spain (Aemet) for today indicates that in the western islands, in the early hours the sky will be cloudy in the North, a period in which weak and occasional rain is not ruled out. “Cloudy intervals in the rest, tending to slightly cloudy throughout the morning.” As for the wind, “in the high areas of Gran Canaria and Tenerife, with an occasionally strong southern component with very strong gusts in the central peaks of Tenerife.”
