Gran Canaria Weather: Winter Is Over, Go Back To The Beach

The sunshine is back in Gran Canaria The sunshine is back in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

FEBRUARY 21, 2016: With the Gran Canaria highlands still covered in snow, it might seem silly to say that the recent patch of winter weather is over, but the forecast for this week is for sunshine in south Gran Canaria.

The low pressure that caused the rain and low temperatures last week has weakened and is moving north allowing normal service to resume in Gran Canaria.

The south of Gran Canaria will be sunny all week and the resort beaches will be warm and pleasant. North Gran Canaria will be somewhat cloudy but much warmer than it was last week. 

Day temperatures will rise to the mid-twenties during the day and minimums should be around 16ºC at night. 

The sea will also calm down from tomorrow and the sea temperature is 19ºC.

As for the snow; The roads up to the highlands are now open so tomorrow morning is your best bet to get up and see it. Now that the cold air has moved on it will melt fast. Head for the highest part of the island at Pico de las Nieves.

    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.
