Tenerife Weather

[Janet]

It's going to be a cool weekend as the wild weather continues. Aemet says that the storm system over the UK and Ireland, together with an anti-cyclone to the west of the Azores will cause a sharp drop in temperatures here in the Canaries over the weekend as a mass of cold north-westerly air is pushed down to the Canaries. Along with this cold weather – a drop of around 10º is being forecast – there will be wild seas and high winds, the lot resulting in a yellow alert for Saturday. It's almost certain that Teide will be white again, with snow forecast down to 1,500m. The conditions are set to continue until at least Monday, it seems. JA
