In general, light haze is expected at high levels, with mostly clear skies and intervals of medium clouds in the eastern province, and low clouds in the northern mountainous areas, as well as the northern and western coasts of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Temperatures will remain stable or slightly decrease overall, with a more pronounced drop in minimum values on the southern and eastern slopes.
A moderate easterly wind will have strong intervals on the southeast and northwest coasts, with breezes predominating on the southwestern coasts of the mountainous islands. In the highest peaks of the western islands, the wind will be light to moderate from the west.

Gran Canaria is currently the only island under a yellow warning for maximum temperatures from 11:00 to 20:00, with a 40%-70% probability that temperatures may reach up to 34ºC, affecting the east, south, west, and peaks of the island, particularly around median and Tejeda Basin.
In general, the skies will be mostly clear with some medium clouds during the first half of the day and intervals of clouds in low northern areas. Light haze at high levels is expected.
Temperatures will show little change or slight increases, particularly significant in inland areas. Temperatures will exceed 30-32ºC in the western islands.
A moderate easterly wind will have strong intervals on the southeast and northwest coasts, with breezes predominating on the southwestern coasts of the mountainous islands.
