It was quite funny yesterday ... there was a yellow alert for rain for south, west and east Tenerife ... and a yellow alert is for reasonably heavy but not overly prolonged rain. What we'd call moderately heavy showers.

But in the event, it was the north and metropolitan areas which got the worst of it, and not only that, it got an aguacero ... a torrential downpour!

Facebook is full of videos showing barrancos overflowing, and the north airport with rain pouring in through the light fittings, and cars washed away or flooded in car parks – the one below is less dramatic but shows an accurate picture of what it was like in La Laguna.

And an hour after it started, Aemet announced an orange alert (really heavy rain) to cover the whole island!    by which time the rains had virtually stopped!

Today it's dull with scattered light showers all over.

and normal service has been resumed! 

One km up above the west coast the air is cool and there are scattered clouds, and between them the sun is shining and it's lovely and warm to sit in. There are times in Tenerife when it all just drives you absolutely bloody nuts. This is not one of them ...

It looks like more wet weather might be arriving to Tenerife and the western islands from tomorrow. Aemet has announced a high-level isolated depression which means, basically, that despite a fair amount of uncertainty about what's coming, there should be some rain, heavy at times, and possibly some quite stormy weather over Monday and Tuesday. No doubt there'll be further updates.

It's raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    My toldo has got wet so I'll have to leave it out for the duration now until it dries.  Maybe it will get a wash 

[Janet]

it's been raining off and on all day here, around lunchtime it was very heavy, now it's just "steady", proper British rain!

A cold front is about to arrive bringing wind and rain, say meteorologists. The instability is due to a profound depression much further north, and it will be north of Tenerife which experiences the worst of this weather system. Aemet has, indeed, issued a yellow alert for rain in north Tenerife, and high winds elsewhere in the island tomorrow. Winds gusting up to 70km/h are expected, stronger in the north, with temperatures dropping some 5º, especially in the medianías. The present forecast suggests that these conditions will prevail throughout this week.
