The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) forecasts for Thursday a mixture of clouds and rain over the northern mountainous islands, including Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. There is a possibility of locally intense showers accompanied by isolated thunderstorms, with temperatures remaining relatively stable and a northwest wind.
Weak frosts may occur on the summits of Tenerife and La Palma.
Regarding sea conditions, a north or northwest wind of force 2 to 4 and 3 to 5 is expected, leading to a slight swell or movement. Along the coasts of the southwest, southeast, and south of the islands, a variable force of 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 will create a choppy sea.
In the northern and northwestern waters, wave heights of 1 to 2 meters are anticipated, along with showers in the north.
