Gran Canaria Weather: A Close Shave, Followed By Sunshine

Some high cloud and plenty of sun this week in Gran Canaria Some high cloud and plenty of sun this week in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

19.09.2016: If you're in Gran Canaria you may have noticed the grey to the south and east of the island yesterday. That was a wet front that never quite made it to land (it just touched Fuerteventura and Lanzarote).

The after effects will be a few high clouds this morning all over Gran Canaria although the sun should break through in the afternoon. The middle of the week looks sunny in south Gran Canaria although there will be some high cloud towards the end of the week (especially in the mornings). 

North Gran Canaria gets cloudy mornings and sunnier afternoons.

There's a big swell at the moment with waves up to a metre along the north coast. There may even be something surfable in south Gran Canaria this week.

  • 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.
