The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has confirmed that the Canary Islands will experience a weekend of unsettled weather, with clouds and scattered showers expected across several islands.
General Forecast
Today, skies will predominantly remain cloudy in the north of the archipelago, with a low chance of light and sporadic rain, particularly in the northeast midlands, where showers may occur more frequently. These showers, however, are likely to ease and become less frequent by midday.
In other areas, cloudy intervals are anticipated in the western regions and the central peaks, while the remainder of the islands will benefit from clearer skies.
Despite the rain, temperatures will remain largely stable, with highs of 29ºC in Tenerife and lows of 17ºC in El Hierro.

In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, temperatures will range between 22ºC and 25ºC, showing little variation compared to previous days.
