The Spanish AEMET weather service has announced that November 2015 was the hottest and sunniest on record after a mid-month hot spell sent temperatures up to over 30ºC. 

The worst of the bad weather that walloped Gran Canaria over the last five days is over, although we may get the odd strong shower today.

The beginning of the week will see a mish-mash of different weather in the Canary Islands although we expect plenty of sunshine in Gran Canaria's resorts (but also cloudy spells and the odd shower). The next few days will be similar.

A low-pressure system currently building over the Atlantic Ocean to the northwest of the Canary Islands looks likely to produce wind and rains towards the end of the week.

Gran Canaria's weather alert system can cause confusion because of different alert levels and colour codes. Here's exactly how it works.

After a couple of weeks of sunny weather, and one day of rain so far in September, Gran Canaria could go all tropical this week to welcome the Autumn season.

After a roasting hot week, the Spanish weather service has put the Canary Islands on Yellow Alert for rain today.

Britian and Northern Europe could be heading for an exceptionally cold winter thanks to the powerful El Niño event brewing in the Pacific Ocean. 

The freak weather in the Canary Islands for the last week is fading away, according to the Spanish weather authorities.

It looks like we haven't seen the last of August's freak weather conditions in Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands just yet.
