What will the weather be like on Monday in Tenerife?

AEMET expects variable cloud and light calima in higher air layers on Tenerife on Monday, 5 October 2026. In the west and south of the island, skies should remain mostly lightly cloudy.

In Santa Cruz de Tenerife, AEMET expects a minimum temperature of 22 degrees and a maximum of 28 degrees. For most of the island, temperatures will change little.

In the eastern and western mid-altitude areas, minimum temperatures may fall slightly, in some places more noticeably. The wind will be mostly light from the northeast, stronger on the east coast and in the far northwest; in the central summit areas it will come from the southwest.

What does the calima mean for residents and visitors?

According to AEMET, the calima is light and mainly affects higher air layers. The Saharan dust can nevertheless reduce visibility.

People with respiratory problems should reduce physical exertion outdoors and keep windows closed when dust levels are higher. However, the available sources do not mention any specific health alert or official restriction.

The Canary authorities generally recommend during dust episodes to close doors and windows, avoid exertion outdoors, drink enough water and remove dust with damp cloths. If respiratory symptoms appear or worsen, they advise calling 1-1-2.

Are there restrictions for traffic, flights or beaches?

No closures have been announced for roads, airports, ports, schools or tourist facilities. The sources also do not mention any additional fees, entry requirements or deadlines.

No weather warnings were expected for the Canary coasts on Monday, according to AEMET. When driving, the authorities recommend reducing speed, switching on lights and driving carefully if dust reduces visibility.

For Las Teresitas beach, AEMET forecast a maximum temperature of 29 degrees on Monday, a water temperature of 25 degrees and a maximum UV index of 7.

What is the situation on the other Canary Islands?

On Gran Canaria, lightly cloudy skies with intervals in the north will dominate, according to AEMET. The light calima is more pronounced there in mid-altitude and summit areas; Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will reach 23 to 27 degrees.

For Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, AEMET expects variable cloud with mostly medium and high clouds. At the end of the day there is a low probability of isolated, occasional showers with thunder; the calima could be stronger on the eastern islands in the evening.

On La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, there will also be variable cloud and light high-altitude calima, according to AEMET.

Who is responsible for warnings and air quality?

AEMET is the state weather service that publishes forecasts and warnings of adverse weather phenomena. In the Canaries, the regional government's Directorate-General for Security and Emergencies can activate alert or pre-alert levels under the PEFMA.

The Government of the Canary Islands pointed out that a dust episode can change air quality and recommended consulting the official air quality index by zone. Coordination takes place with the Cabildos and Ayuntamientos through their respective emergency plans.

For Monday, no activated alert level was mentioned in the available sources.

What is still open?

The forecast describes light calima at altitude, not expressly heavy dust at ground level. The information contains no comparison with the previous month or previous year; no rainfall amounts are given for Monday either.

The weather situation may change before the day in question. No specific date or time for a change, warning or cancellation is given in the available sources.

The next relevant development is the ongoing update of the AEMET forecast. Residents and visitors should check the forecast again on Monday itself.
