Thursday, November 13th, 2025
Eleven Flights Diverted Due to Severe Weather
On Wednesday, Storm Claudia caused significant disruption to air traffic across the Canary Islands on Wednesday, the 12th of November 2025. Eleven flights were diverted, including several to and from Gran Canaria and La Palma. Some aircraft were rerouted to other airports, among them Tenerife South, Fuerteventura, and Tenerife North.
Strong winds, heavy rain, and rough seas led local authorities to suspend in-person classes and declare weather alerts for the entire archipelago.
Conditions Improving from Thursday
There’s good news for travellers: Spain’s national meteorological agency, AEMET, has confirmed that Claudia has now weakened considerably. Throughout Thursday, the weather is steadily improving, and all remaining alerts in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which includes Tenerife South Airport, are being lifted gradually.
According to AEMET, only light rain and moderate winds remain, and sea conditions continue to calm down. Gran Canaria was the first island to have all alerts removed, followed by Tenerife and La Palma.
What Passengers Should Know
Travellers flying via Tenerife South Airport can expect flight operations to return to normal. However, it is still advisable to check your flight status before heading to the airport, as minor delays may occur.
The weather for the coming days will remain mild and stable, perfect for enjoying your stay in Tenerife once again.
