A powerful storm threatens the archipelago

 

 

The Canary Islands are preparing for an adverse weather front next week, with a notable increase in cloudiness and a high probability of rain. This alteration in the climate is due to the formation of a storm in the Atlantic Ocean, the effects of which are expected to extend to the Canary Islands, as well as Madeira and the Azores. The activation of warnings is being considered due to the current situation, although everything will depend on how the Atlantic front evolves in the coming days.

 

 

 

 

The Aemet meteorologist, JJ González Alemán, explained this anomaly in a tweet, pointing out that it is an atmospheric dynamic more typical of winter and confirming that it is a powerful storm. It is quite likely that this situation will materialize upon reaching the archipelago.

 

 

 

According to the Aemet forecast, southerly winds, constantly cloudy skies and rain are expected for Tuesday and Wednesday, especially in the western and central islands. There is a possibility that the eastern islands will also be affected, especially in the areas of highest relief. Precipitation is expected to be of some intensity during these days. In fact, on Tuesday there is a 60% chance of rain in Gran Canaria.
