Peninsula

The Iberian Peninsula, a region in southwestern Europe, is potentially facing the effects of Storm Therese. Currently, the Canary Islands are experiencing significant weather disturbances due to the storm, including heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, particularly affecting the islands of La Gomera, El Hierro, and Tenerife. The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) predicts that the storm's influence may extend to the southern part of the Peninsula, bringing cloudy skies and precipitation. While the Canary Islands are experiencing intense weather, Aemet also forecasts that the upcoming Semana Santa (Holy Week) period may bring relatively little rainfall to many areas of the Peninsula, with temperatures around or slightly below normal in northern and eastern regions. The potential impact of Storm Therese on the Peninsula is the main reason for the current news coverage.
