The storm Bruna that affected the Canary archipelago in recent days will give way to a new storm named Charles, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet). Given this situation, Aemet has activated the orange alert for strong winds and yellow for rough seas and rain starting this Wednesday, November 11, in Lanzarote and La Graciosa, as well as in the rest of the islands.
As explained by Aemet, it is "a system of subtropical origin that will cause a very adverse storm of rain, wind, and rough seas on Wednesday and, to a lesser extent, on Thursday". Charles is the third system named this 2026/2027 season in the European southwest group.
The orange alert for wind will begin at 06:00 hours on Wednesday and will be in effect until 21:00 hours of that same day, when gusts could reach 90 kilometers per hour generally, especially on the north or northwest slopes.
For its part, the alert for rough seas will be active from 12:00 hours until 21:00 hours on Wednesday, and southwest winds of 50 to 61 km/h (force 7) are expected with waves that could reach four meters in height.
Regarding the yellow alert for rain, Aemet has activated it from 15:00 hours until 23:59 of that same day, with accumulations of 15 mm in one hour being possible.
