When does the heat episode that has raised the thermometer in Lanzarote to more than 36 degrees end?

The heat episode that the island of Lanzarote has been suffering since the end of last week has left temperatures of up to 36.6 degrees in the municipality of Haría, in the north of the island, which has been the most affected by the high temperatures.

Although initially the island saw warnings increase to orange level, with a prediction of reaching 37 degrees, the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) lowered the forecasts for both Tuesday and this Wednesday. Despite this, this Tuesday the northern municipality did reach almost 37 degrees, with a maximum of 36.6.

For the moment, Aemet maintains the yellow warning for high temperatures until 8:00 PM tonight, Wednesday. During this period, temperatures of up to 34 degrees may be recorded. There will also be light haze at altitude throughout the afternoon and night temperatures above 25 degrees in the island's southeast.

Already on the night of this past Tuesday to Wednesday, temperatures above 20 degrees were recorded during the night. Understood as tropical nights, dawns where the thermometer does not drop below 20 degrees make it more difficult to fall asleep.

The heat will be more pressing until this afternoon in the southern interior areas of Lanzarote and also in the island's east. Meanwhile, the wind will blow from light to moderate from the north. In the southeast, however, breezes will predominate.

Looking ahead to this Thursday, the heat episode will begin to decrease. From this July 9th, maximums of 27 degrees are expected in Haría, the municipality most affected by the heat, and minimums of 20 degrees. Meanwhile, the wind will blow a bit more, with gusts of 25 kilometers per hour. It is even possible that weak rains may be recorded in the north of Lanzarote on Friday and Saturday.

In Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote and the most populated city, the maximums are expected to drop from the 32 degrees forecast for this Wednesday to 28. In addition, the increase in wind will be noticeable, with gusts of up to 40 kilometers per hour.
