Storm Francis moves on from the Canaries
Storm Francis continues its path towards mainland Spain, leaving its final unsettled conditions over the islands. In fact, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) deactivated the yellow warning for coastal phenomena across all islands at 3am this morning, Sunday, 4 January, except for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, where it was lifted a few hours later. This was the only warning that remained in force.
Tenerife forecast: Cloudy with possible frost
On the island of Tenerife, a slight drop in maximum temperatures is expected for this Sunday, ranging between 16 and 21 degrees Celsius, with frost not ruled out at the high altitudes of Mount Teide. Cloudy skies will predominate in the north of the island, with moderate rainfall more frequent in mid-altitude areas where some persistence is possible. In other areas, there will be cloudy intervals with a low probability of occasional weak showers, increasing to cloudy on the southeastern slope in the afternoon when rain becomes more likely.
Northwesterly winds will be strong at intervals on the southwestern slope, with locally very strong gusts not ruled out. In the central peaks, strong northwesterly winds with probable locally very strong gusts are expected, easing during the second half of the day.
