The Directorate-General for Emergencies of the Government of the Canary Islands has declared a rain pre-alert in El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife from 21:00 this Saturday, October 31, according to Moncloa.com and Diario de Avisos. The decision is taken under the emergency plan for adverse weather events (PEFMA) and with information from AEMET.
According to those outlets, a low-pressure system located west of the archipelago may bring locally heavy rain, first in La Palma and El Hierro on Saturday night and then in La Gomera and Tenerife, especially on the morning of Sunday, November 1. AEMET warns that the position, movement and intensity of the low are still unclear, according to Moncloa.com.
The pre-alert is the lowest level of the regional system and does not suspend activities, according to Moncloa.com. The emergency services recommend not crossing ravines or watercourses, moving vehicles out of low-lying areas and following official information, and will update the declaration if the situation changes.
The sources do not give expected rainfall amounts or the color of AEMET's warnings for those hours.
