Orange alert in Tenerife for high seas

The Canary Islands are on alert today, according to information from the National Meteorological Institute.

In the province of Santa Cruz the level of alert is orange, considered important, due to high seas to the north west, with waves reaching up to five meters. In the province of Las Palmas, the level of alert is yellow. Both alerts are coastal alerts (which means they are more relevant to fishermen, but visitors should take care too, especially on the north coasts, where there is a risk of getting washed off rocks by the waves).

In the north of Tenerife and in La Palma, cloudy intervals are expected with cloud below 1,000 meters. In high areas and the south and west of the islands, clear skies and temperatures without change. Winds light to variable on the south west coast. Strong northeast wind in the central peaks of Tenerife, reducing in the afternoon.
