Gran Canaria Weather: Back To Normal After A Topsy-Turvy Week

Gran Canaria weather forecast for the week starting 16.05.2016

Gran Canaria's weather last week was all mixed up, but now it's gone back to normal.

The storm due last Sunday was late and nowhere near as wet as forecast. Then we had cloudy days in the south and sunshine in the north, the opposite of what we expected.

But that's all gone now and normal service has resumed.

By normal we mean sunshine in south Gran Canaria in all the resorts, and cloud over the north and Las Palmas, especially in the mornings. There is a bit of cloud over the south this morning (Monday) but it should burn off fast. 

Spring is late this year so the Cumbres are still stuffed with flowers and it's not too hot to walk. You should get sunshine up top all week. 

There's a rumour going round that we're about to get a calima. However, we don't see any sign of this in the forecasts; the wind is coming in from the northeast and will push any dust south of the Canary Islands.

    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.
