The meteorological consequences of the passage of the high-impact storm Charles will continue to be felt in the Canary Islands, at least, until this Thursday. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has activated a new yellow alert for this Thursday due to rainfall. This alert will be active from 00:00 in the morning until 12:00 noon.

Meanwhile, the orange alert for maximum wind gusts activated by Aemet from early Wednesday morning will be in effect until 5:00 p.m.; the same time that the yellow alert for coastal phenomena will remain active.

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.

Lanzarote and La Graciosa are on alert for wind and waves, as well as on pre-alert for rain.
