AT least 10 flights have been cancelled in the Canary Islands following the arrival of Storm Nuria on Thursday.

Anyone due to travel to the archipelago is urged to check the status of their flight, with the entire collection of islands currently under a series of alerts for severe weather.

La Palma is expected to be the worst hit day, with state weather agency Aemet issuing a red alert – meaning there is an ‘extreme risk’ to safety.

A video shared on X this morning showed one resident filming from her beachside apartment in Santa Cruz de La Palma.
