Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Expecting Wet End To The Week

A low-pressure system currently building over the Atlantic Ocean to the northwest of the Canary Islands looks likely to produce wind and rains towards the end of the week.

While it is still too early to make accurate predictions, this sort of weather system tends to produce wet, windy weather coming in from the west. As such, we expect the western islands and Tenerife to get the worst of the weather, and to get it first. 

It looks like a wet front will hit the Canaries on Thursday with the serious end arriving in Gran Canaria on Friday. The west and south of the island would be most affected if the system continues to behave as expected. 

Until the weather front arrives, we can expect more of the same weather in Gran Canaria as we've had so far this week; some clouds and the odd shower with plenty of sunny intervals. Morning rain is more likely in the north and afternoon showers possible in the south and the resorts. 

So far, there has been no Canary Government weather alert or AEMET Spanish weather service aviso connected to this weather system and it could still decide to go somewhere else. 

If you are flying into the Canary Islands in the next few days, we recommend bringing a layer and a waterproof. You'll probably only need it for day or two, but this low-pressure system could also cause bad weather for several days.

  • 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.
