The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) anticipates possible light precipitation in the form of drizzles for this Friday in the eastern province and southern areas of the Canary Islands, particularly during the latter part of the day. Additionally, temperatures are expected to remain high, with values potentially reaching 34 degrees in the midlands.
Light haze is also forecast to increase throughout the day, accompanied by light to moderate winds from the northeast, with sea breezes impacting the southwestern coasts of the mountainous islands; the highlands will experience southerly breezes and moderate winds from the southwest.
Regarding sea conditions, northeast winds of force 4 or 5 are expected along the southeast and western coasts of the archipelago, with occasional areas potentially reaching force 6. Elsewhere, winds will range from force 3 to 4, leading to choppy waters, locally strong by night, with swells from the northeast measuring between one and two metres.
