A new meteorological disturbance, called Therese, is currently forming in the Atlantic Ocean and is heading towards the Canary Islands. Spanish weather authorities anticipate difficult weather conditions for the region starting this Wednesday, with risks of intense precipitation and sustained winds.
The Therese borrasca represents a low pressure system that could significantly alter the weather on the islands after a period of relative stability. Forecast models indicate a gradual deterioration, starting with an increase in cloud cover and gusty winds from Tuesday evening.
The services of the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) have issued preliminary alerts for the provinces of Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. They recommend that residents and visitors prepare for locally heavy rain events, which could cause flooding in normally exposed areas.
In addition to the precipitation, the tidal range is expected to intensify, with waves reaching several meters in height on the north and west coasts. Maritime and port activities could be disrupted, and authorities are considering restrictions on recreational boating and inter-island ferries.
Meteorologist Mario Picazo stressed that this depression also brings a cooling of temperatures, contrasting with the spring warm weather observed in recent days. The maximum temperatures could drop by five to eight degrees in places, bringing more wintry weather to the archipelago.
Local authorities are activating their emergency plans to deal with possible material damage and power outages. Emergency services are placed on alert, and temporary accommodation centers are prepared in the event of the need for preventive evacuations.
This meteorological situation occurs in a context where Spain generally experiences a transition towards more stable conditions in spring. Experts point out that Atlantic borrascas remain frequent during this period, but their intensity can vary considerably from one year to the next.
Residents are encouraged to follow official weather reports and adopt precautionary measures, including avoiding non-essential travel during peak weather. Vigilance remains required until the depression moves eastward at the end of the week.
