There is a Government pre-alert for a heatwave beginning tomorrow morning and lasting throughout the weekend. Temperatures are forecast of up to 34º in central and south Tenerife, and also throughout the Canaries, not including La Palma and El Hierro.
The Met Office alert is

There is also a ban on fires and BBQs in forest recreation areas while the alert continues. Also banned are agricultural fires and fireworks in areas near vegetation. The bans might be continued into next week depending on prevailing conditions. Bans report

For obvious fire-prevention reasons, the Cabildo has asked people to avoid the mountain areas as far as possible while the alert continues. For equally obvious reasons, people are also asked to take the usual precautions for their own health and safety.
