A drought across the Canary Islands has led to a 'heightened risk' of large wildfires as summer approaches, according to reports.
UK holidaymakers are being alerted to a Tenerife travel warning as the Canary Islands grapple with drought conditions, raising the risk of severe wildfires.
On Wednesday, June 12, key figures including Canary Islands President Fernando Clavijo, Security Councillor Nieves Barreto, and Territorial Policy Councillor Manuel Miranda convened at the presidency headquarters in Santa Cruz de Tenerife to assess the weather situation and available resources. Last year, Tenerife was hit by its most devastating fires in four decades, leading to the evacuation of thousands and consuming about 6 per cent of the island over two months, reports Birmingham Live.
