It seems that the calima will continue to affect the Canary Islands over the next few days, especially the eastern islands more, like Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and also Gran Canaria.

According to Aemet, on Friday a new wave of Saharan dust is expected to enter the archipelago, which will make the calima feel once again more intense compared to these last few days. 

Although it was initially announced by Aemet that the calima will lift completely until Thursday, now it is expected that it will become more intense, due to the wind intensifying, which will pick up more dust from the Sahara.
