The passage of storm Emilia through the Canary Islands has left freezing temperatures in the archipelago, including Lanzarote. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has published the values reached last weekend on the island, which show that the island's airport reached a maximum temperature of 15.5 degrees on Saturday the 13th, the lowest in December since records began.
To find the previous record, we would have to go back to the same month in 1977, when 16.5 degrees were reached in this same area of the island.
Furthermore, December 13th also saw very cold maximum temperatures in other areas of Lanzarote. In Tías, for example, the maximum temperature did not exceed 12.1 degrees, while in Haría the thermometer registered 13.7 degreesRegarding **Tinajo**, the maximum value reached that day was **14.5 degrees**. In **La Graciosa**, the eighth island registered a daytime temperature of **16.1 degrees**. For its part, in the southern tip of Lanzarote, **Playa Blanca registered a similar temperature, 16.5 degrees**
Minimum temperatures
The minimum temperatures this past Saturday on the island also registered very cold values that we are not so accustomed to. The lowest temperature recorded that day was 9.6 degrees in Tías, according to Aemet.
After Tías, Tinajo was the town that reached the lowest temperature on December 13th, 10.7 degrees. Close behind are Lanzarote Airport and Haría, with 11.6 and 11.2 degrees, respectively.
The southern and northern extremes of the island's topography also reached very cold values. The thermometer in Playa Blanca dropped to 12.5 degrees, while in La Graciosa it dropped to 12.3.
