It will bring moderate showers to all of the Canary Islands plus some heavy rain in the highlands and along the north coasts of the bigger islands. The wind and sea will also pick up with waves of up to six metres expected along the north coast of Gran Canaria.

The whole of Gran Canaria is on yellow alert for rain, rough seas and strong winds from 18.00 this evening until midday tomorrow. However, the south coast will be least affected by the weather and is likely to get some strong gusts of wind and a few showers but no serious rain. 

Once the front has passed over the island, we'll get a couple of days of sporadic showers as the post-front air goes over the islands. By Thursday afternoon or Friday, the sun should be back.
