Dry Easterly Weather and High-Altitude Haze Ahead of the December Long Weekend

Starting this Friday, temperatures will rise with the retreat of the tradewind (alisio).

Forecast Overview

• A drastic change in Fuerteventura’s weather is expected for the weekend and the upcoming December holiday.
• The influence of the anticyclone will withdraw, allowing the African ridge to return with light easterly winds and increasing temperatures.

Temperature Rise

• East winds will be gentle, but the loss of the alisio will cause daytime temperatures to climb noticeably from Friday onward.

Calima (Dust)

• The ridge will bring calima at altitude.
• It is not expected to be very intense, yet it is likely to persist at least until Tuesday.

Sea Conditions

• The deep sea level will rise, producing waves up to three metres high in the north and west of the island.
• Caution is strongly advised for anyone swimming or engaging in water activities.
