With the heatwave lasting longer than expected, the Tenerife Cabildo has extended the bans on fires in forest recreational areas, agricultural fires and fireworks in areas near vegetation.
Although conditions have improved, they remain difficult at over 700 metres above sea level. This is expected to pass in the next few days, but while present, it naturally creates an increased risk of forest fires.
Although not banned, the Cabildo is also maintaining its request for people to avoid mountain areas while this alert continues.
