Gran Canaria Weather: A Break From The Heat Until Tuesday

Gran Canaria Weather: A Break From The Heat Until Tuesday www.photosgrancanaria.com

08.08.2016 The scorching weather faded away on Sunday but will be back on Tuesday when a second blast of heat arrives from North Africa.

This second wave of heat is due to a low pressure to the south west of the islands and a high pressure over North Africa. Together, they will cause hot air to flow over the islands from Argelia. 

Gran Canaria is already on yellow alert for high temperatures for Tuesday and the heat will last through Wednesday and possibly even longer. Temperatures are forecast to reach at least 34ºC during the day but could well be much higher. 

The heat will be accompanied by more atmospheric dust which is forecast to arrive on Tuesday and could be heavy on Wednesday.

The short break in the heat is at least good news for the thousands of people fighting the huge forest fire on La Palma island. We can only hope the fire is controlled before the heat returns and makes the firefighter's job harder again. The latest reports suggest that the huge forest fire in southern La Palma is still burning after five days but is now under control.

    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.
