Tropical Storm Nadine still alive
Rain expected on La Gomera
Tropical storm Nadine is one of the longest-lived weather systems in the Atlantic, and is continuing to head slowly away from the Canary Islands.
A separate low pressure system that Nadine helped to spawn a few days ago is influencing the weather negatively over much of northern Europe and is expected to be situated over the British Channel by Thursday:
The associated cold front could just reach as far as the Canary Islands and should bring us some rain at last. Even some prolonged and/or heavier downpours with moderate winds and stronger gusts are possible. The low over western Africa did already bring a little badly needed rain in some parts of the Canaries, but if you're planning your holidays let me assure you that here it never rains for long and the little rain we get is warm.
The HIRLAM model for Thursday looks like this:
