Gran Canaria Weather: Mixed Start To The Week

Mixed weather in Gran Canaria this week Mixed weather in Gran Canaria this week www.photosgrancanaria.com

The cold snap that's chilling most of Europe will affect Gran Canaria this week but, aside for the odd shower and cool evenings, we don't expect much weather in the resorts.

In the south and the resorts, the weather will be mixed. There will be cloudy spells and the odd shower, but we do expect plenty of sunshine as well. While temperatures have dropped, it was still 20ºC at dawn this morning in Maspalomas.

Most of the effects will be in the north of Gran Canaria where the cloud backs up against the steep mountains. North Gran Canaria will get heavy cloud and showers for most of the week.

The strong wind that blew in the resorts over the weekend will continue on-and-off for at least the next couple of days. It will be strongest in the southeast so if it affects Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, head west towards Puerto Rico and Amadores.

Wave alert for Gran Canaria

The Spanish weather service has also announced an aviso warning about big waves in south Gran Canaria for Monday, November 23rd.  Please stay within marked swimming areas and don't swim off rocky shores.

The water temperature this week is 22ºC.

  • 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.
