The Canary Islands are experiencing unstable weather, with heavy rains and snowfall affecting various regions.

Intense downpours have been reported in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and La Palma, leading to road closures and warnings from authorities.

Snow has blanketed the peaks of Tenerife and La Palma, with access to the Teide National Park and Roque de Los Muchachos restricted due to icy conditions.

The government has issued yellow alerts for rain and snow, with precipitation expected to intensify in some areas.

Temperatures have dropped significantly, especially in the high altitudes, where they remain below freezing.

Residents are advised to limit travel and take precautions as the weather system, known as DANA, continues to impact the islands.
