Gran Canaria Weather: The Trade Winds Bring Some Cloud

Clouds return to north Gran Canaria from Monday Clouds return to north Gran Canaria from Monday www.photosgrancanaria.com

The Trade Winds return to Gran Canaria on Monday and bring cloud back to Gran Canaria, or at least to the north of the island.

After a month of almost unbroken sunshine all over Gran Canaria, the weather is returning to its winter norm. The Trade Winds, which have been blocked by a high-pressure system, will start to roar again as of Monday.

The effects will be visible straight away in north Gran Canaria and the cloud is expected to cover most of the island on Tuesday. After that, we can expect cloudy days in the north of the island, but the south will remain in its bubble of sunshine most days. 

This is because the island's highlands divert the trade winds and their associated clouds around the island leaving a clear patch over south Gran Canaria. 

Expect day temperatures around 20ºC on cloudy days, rising to 25ºC in the sunshine. At night, the mercury can drop to 15ºC.

The sea temperature in Gran Canaria is a mild 22ºC and the sea will be relatively calm for the next few days and especially along the south coast.

    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.
