Gran Canaria is now officially on alert for hot weather as of Monday July 6 2015.

The Spanish AEMET weather service is warning that Gran Canaria will hit 34ºC on Monday and get hotter on Tuesday through Thursday.

The forecast for Monday also includes gusts of wind up to 55km per hour in the south east.

As always during hot weather in Gran Canaria, wear a hat, stay out of the sun as much as possible between midday and 18.00 and drink plenty of water. Don't go walking in the hills during the heat of the day as the hot, dry air dehydrates you within minutes.

Also, please don't smoke or light fires anywhere in rural areas and stay off dirt roads; sparks from car metal hitting stones causes forest fires. Anyone caught having a BBQ in the pine forests will be put in prison (seriously).

  • The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast
    The Best Gran Canaria Weather Forecast

    The single most common question we get in the Gran Canaria Info group is...

    What is the weather going to be like during my holiday?

    The answer is almost always the same: If you are going to south Gran Canaria's resorts, it is very likely to be sunny every day. Yes, even in the winter. Yes, even though your weather app says it is going to be cloudy. Yes, even in January. And in February, etc.

    Obviously it does sometimes rain in Gran Canaria, even in the sun-baked south, and there are occassional cloudy days. 

    To check for these rare rain and clouds there is no point using generic weather apps because they use data that averages out the weather and temperature across Gran Canaria.

    This means that the forecast for Puerto Rico and other resorts includes weather and temperatrure predictions for inland and highland areas that are cooler and cloudier.

    So, instead of believing your current weather app use the Spanish weather service website called the AEMET. It's website has detailed and very accurate forecasts for individual resorts, town and even beaches.

    Here's the forecast for the Mogán area including Puerto Rico.

    The mobile website works very well in English although the app is only in Spanish at the moment.
