The haze episode that the Canary Islands are experiencing due to an influx of Saharan air mass is leaving temperatures above 30 degrees and high concentrations of dust in suspension, according to data from the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
Lanzarote, La Graciosa, and the rest of the archipelago have been on haze pre-alert since Monday, a situation that will be felt especially this Tuesday, October 27, with the probability that from the afternoon it will begin to be more significant at low levels.
On Monday, the different meteorological stations distributed throughout Lanzarote and La Graciosa registered unusually high temperatures for the time of year. The highest temperature was recorded in the town of Caleta de Famara, where 33.3 degrees were reached.
For its part, in the town of Tinajo the mercury reached 31.2 degrees, according to the State Meteorological Agency. In other locations such as Tías or Arrecife, the values approached 29 and 28 degrees, respectively.
In the north of the island, in Haría, 25.8 degrees were recorded, somewhat cooler than in the rest of the island. In the case of La Graciosa, the thermometer reached 32.9 degrees.
On the other hand, the humidity that was registered this Monday and continues to be registered this Tuesday on both islands is very high. In fact, La Graciosa registered 94% humidity at 11:00 PM last night, while in Haría and Playa Blanca, 87% and 89% were reached.
