Canary Islands Brace for Severe Winds

Published: 2024-12-22

The Canary Islands are under a pre-alert for strong winds, with gusts expected to reach up to 80 km/h in some areas.

The warning, issued by the regional government, affects the western islands, including Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro.

High-altitude zones, such as the Teide National Park and the Macizo de Teno, are particularly at risk.

Additionally, a weather system is bringing heavy rains and possible snow above 2,000 meters to the islands.

Residents are urged to follow safety guidelines as the adverse weather conditions persist.
