Arctic storm Diana is making its way towards the Canary Islands and is expected to make its presence felt this weekend…

State meteorological agency AEMET has been tracking the progress of a cold front from the Arctic to the archipelago throughout the week. And their models now suggest that all of the islands are going to experience unseasonally low temperatures and higher than normal rainfall this weekend.

The storm is expected to break at around lunchtime on Saturday and AEMET currently believe this will produce significant rainfall across the archipelago, including here on Lanzarote. Where cloud cover is already thickening up, with some lighter rain in prospect both today and tomorrow.
