Rain, wind and rough seas forecast for Gran Canaria this week Rain, wind and rough seas forecast for Gran Canaria this week Photos Gran Canaria

It may not feel like it this morning, but there's a band of wind and rain heading towards Gran Canaria that is due to arrive late on Monday night.

It will bring moderate showers to all of the Canary Islands plus some heavy rain in the highlands and along the north coasts of the bigger islands. The wind and sea will also pick up with waves of up to six metres expected along the north coast of Gran Canaria.

The whole of Gran Canaria is on yellow alert for rain, rough seas and strong winds from 18.00 this evening until midday tomorrow. However, the south coast will be least affected by the weather and is likely to get some strong gusts of wind and a few showers but no serious rain. 

Once the front has passed over the island, we'll get a couple of days of sporadic showers as the post-front air goes over the islands. By Thursday afternoon or Friday, the sun should be back.

  • 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.
