Gran Canaria Weather: Who Turned The Heat Back On?

High temperatures forecast in Gran Canaria this week High temperatures forecast in Gran Canaria this week AEMET

Temperatures are set to soar this week in Gran Canaria with the south of the island back on yellow alert and the mercury expected to hit 36ºC.

After a scorching weekend, it might come as a surprise that the weather is going to get hotter but the forecast is for a blast of roasting Saharan air that brings some calima dust with it. 

Expect high temperatures and clear skies all over Gran Canaria until Thursday when the Trade Winds will bring cooler air to the island (and cloud to the north). 

The calima dust that comes with the hot air looks mild and may not be much more than a light haze. 

With forecast temperatures of over 36ºC in the southern highlands and 34ºC all over the Gran Canaria cumbres, please take care up top. Don't go walking during the heat of the day and please be extra careful in the forests as fires start easily in the heat.

  • 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.
