29.08.2016: South Gran Canaria is currently on Orange alert (until 19.00) for high temperatures with the rest of the island and the Canarian archipelago on yellow alert. The Canarian Government has also announced an alert for maximum temperatures. 

The heat was not in the forecasts at the end of last week but a hot blob of air from Noth Africa drifted west overnight. Temperatures in south Gran Canaria have already reached 40ºC in some areas of inland south Gran Canaria. However, Temperatures on the coast will peak at a maximum of 37ºC in the southeast. 

By tomorrow, the heat will start to recede with maximums of 'only' 34ºC on the coast. The heat will hang around in south Gran Canaria until at least Wednesday. By the end of the week, the Trade Winds will return and cool the island down (and bring cloud and even a few spots of rain to the north coast).

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
