Gran Canaria Weather: White Christmas Calima Fading Over The Weekend

Gran Canaria weather: The dust fades away by tomorrow Gran Canaria weather: The dust fades away by tomorrow

Gran Canaria got a white Christmas Day of sorts due to a heavy calima yesterday and the dust will hang around for Boxing Day.

In fact, Gran Canaria is currently under aviso from the Spanish AEMET weather service for dusty conditions (visibility potentially below 3000 metres). North Gran Canaria is also on aviso for strong winds (up to 70kph in the highlands). 

The good news is that the dust should fade away today and will be largely gone by Sunday. 

On Sunday, the north can expect cloudy weather with the odd shower while the south will be a mix of clouds and sunshine. The south-east will be windy so beachgoers should think about heading to Puerto Rico and Mogán rather than to Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés. 

Take care on rocky coasts over the weekend as the south coast will get big waves over the weekend.

Monday will start with some cloud in the south but this will clear throughout the day. Tuesday will be mostly sunny and the temperature will rise.

    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.
