Overview
- As of Monday, AEMET kept amber warnings for heavy rain in El Hierro, La Gomera and western Tenerife with up to 30mm in an hour, and yellow rain and storm alerts across the other islands.
- Tenerife’s council activated the island emergency plan late last week and closed schools, parks and high‑mountain routes after rare snowfall and earlier gusts near 100 km/h.
- Air travel remains disrupted after dozens of cancellations and diversions at Tenerife North and South, and airlines and airport officials continue to urge passengers to check flight status.
- Maritime Rescue crews used a helicopter to lift sailors from a boat near El Médano when waves and wind made a sea approach impossible.
- Tourists reported long queues and baggage delays at Tenerife South and some are postponing trips, underscoring the strain on a destination that depends on steady holiday traffic.
