Canary Islands Activate Storm Bruna Alerts With 4-Metre Waves and Gusts up to 90 km/h
The Government of the Canary Islands announced on November 6 that its Directorate General for Emergencies would activate alerts from Saturday, November 7: a coastal-phenomena alert for the whole archipelago, rain and wind alerts for the western islands and Gran Canaria, and pre-alerts for storms and flood risk.
A cold front linked to high-impact storm Bruna will sweep the archipelago from west to east. Swell could reach 4 metres on northern and western coasts, rainfall could reach 100mm in 12 hours in places, and south-westerly gusts could reach 90 km/h in high and exposed areas.
The alerts were issued under the PEFMA adverse-weather plan and the PEINCA flood plan. Deputy Councillor Marcos Lorenzo and Director General Laura Martín took part in the technical committee meeting, and the regional government urged residents to take extra precautions.
