The General Directorate of Emergencies, based on the prediction of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has declared the pre-alert for heat, wind, haze and waves in Lanzarote and La Graciosa starting this Monday. It should be remembered that Aemet had already activated the yellow warning for high temperatures and suspended dust. This situation will also affect the rest of the islands of the archipelago.
Regarding the pre-alert for high temperatures, it will begin at 08.00 hours this Tuesday and values exceeding 30 - 34 degrees are expected.
In the case of the pre-alert for wind, it began at 2:00 p.m. this Monday. Moderate wind is expected on the coast with intervals and locally strong gusts, which will reach and/or exceed 60 kilometers per hour on the southeast and northwest slopes of the islands. It can also reach 70 kilometers per hour in the interior of the island and locally.
For its part, the Government of the Canary Islands reports that the pre-alert for haze will come into effect from 10:00 p.m. tonight. Suspended dust could reduce visibility and generate or aggravate health problems for people with chronic and/or respiratory diseases.
Finally, the sea situation will also be affected, so the pre-alert for coastal phenomena has been declared from 2:00 p.m. this Monday. There will be combined sea waves of two to three meters in height. The wind will be from the northeast force 4 - 6 (28 - 49 km/h) with local areas of force 7 (50 - 61 km/h) in the open sea between the islands of greater relief and southeast of Gran Canaria. Thus, there will be rough seas to strong rough seas and north or northeast swell with waves of 1 to 2 meters.
