Canaries escape Spanish heat wave
Unlike the Spanish Mainland, which is currently suffering temperatures of 40ºC, the weather forecast for the Canary Islands is not predicting any sudden change. Experts say the climate in the islands over the summer is not expected to reach extremes, explaining that the famous ‘alisios’ or cool winds usually ensure that temperatures do not reach the forties by keeping the African heat at bay. Residents and the thousands of tourists who will spend their holiday in Tenerife are not expected to suffer the consequences of heat waves during July and August with temperatures remaining “normal” for this time of year.
