Gran Canaria Weather: A Sunny Weekend Coming Up

Weather forecast: A sunny weekend all over Gran Canaria Weather forecast: A sunny weekend all over Gran Canaria PhotosGranCanaria.com

Gran Canaria is back to its standard sunny March weather although it is still humid as the wind is still coming from the south and southwest.

This weekend will be hot and sunny all over the island and the rough sea will calm down as of today. The sand will slowly return to the southern beaches (such as Patalavaca and Maspalomas) once the waves fade away

On Saturday the winds swing back to the north so the temperature will drop by a few degrees and the air will get dryer. Once the Trade Winds return, the north will start to cloud over again but the south should be sunny for most of next week. 

February 2018 was the wettest in the Canary Islands since 2010 and average temperatures were up to 3.5ºC below average. Parts of Tejeda got 400 litres of rain per square metre and the island now has enough water in its reservoirs for three years.

    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.
