Gran Canaria Weather: Cooler, But Sunny On The Beaches

Plenty of sunshine this weekend although the temperatures are to drop Plenty of sunshine this weekend although the temperatures are to drop www.photosgrancanaria.com

09.09.2016: Temperatures drop by at least 5ºC over the weekend as winds from the Atlantic Ocean cool the island down.

The Trade Winds will bring cloud to the north coast (and even the odd spot of rain) and gusty wind to the east coast but the south and the resort beaches will be sunny.

Temperatures will be closer to 25ºC than 30ºC over the weekend although it will still feel hot if you're on the beach. 

Even in the north, you can expect patches of sunshine during the middle of the day. 

The strong north east winds are also bringing in some decent waves. The south coast is sheltered, but the north can expect solid swells up to a metre over the weekend.

  • 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.
