Tenerife Weather

[NAH]

Somewhat wet on the GdS.

Just been listening to ATIS (Air Traffic Information) from TFS and the Cloud is at 400ft, visibility is 2000 metres and the runway is being quoted as 'flooded'. The rain is a little heavy though

Several fights have been diverted through this weather. This lunchtime they seemed to be diverting from TFN to TFS, and now from TFS to Gran Canaria ... being chased by the weather system moving east!

[Janet]

Airports authorities now saying that TFS runway is partially flooded so nothing landing nor taking off.

Heard some flights being diverted to Las Palmas and Portugal
Weather rules !!

[NAH]

Flights now started to depart TFS again.

[Janet]

Aena has said within the last two minutes that TFS has reopened.

[Janet]

and as at 17.07h, TFN (now La Laguna airport) has also reopened.

El Médano beach, sadly ...

My heart goes out to any poor bastards who arrived on Friday and are stuck in their hotel with their kids after saving all year for a week in Tenerife.

Today I managed to learn something I've been wondering about when reading the weather forecast.  The wind direction as indicated by the arrows confused me.  See example below.

The lines at the non-arrow end are called barbs, and here's a link to an article on how to read/interpret them.
