However, this weekend, it may all be a bit "weather permitting":
Unsettled spell could bring wind and rain from tomorrow
Met Office Aemet is forecasting some unsettled weather from this weekend. They’re not expecting a storm, but a depresssion approaching the Canaries from the west should bring some high winds and some rain, heavy at times, to the western islands from tomorrow.
