Severe Flooding and Snowfall Disrupt Canary Islands

Heavy rains and flash floods have caused significant damage in Gran Canaria and Tenerife, while snowfall has impacted higher elevations.

Gran Canaria and Tenerife experienced flash floods, with streets turning into rivers and cars being swept into the sea, particularly in Telde.
Authorities issued orange and yellow weather warnings, with rainfall reaching 30mm in one hour in some areas, causing widespread disruption.
Snowfall in Tenerife's higher elevations, including Teide National Park, led to road closures and icy conditions, further complicating travel.
Gran Canaria Airport temporarily closed due to water accumulation but has since reopened, with flights resuming normal operations by Wednesday morning.
Residents and tourists are advised to exercise caution, avoid travel near ravines, and follow official updates as cleanup efforts continue across affected areas.
