Gran Canaria Weather: Roasting Hot For San Juan Party

Hot week coming up in Gran Canaria Hot week coming up in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

19.06.2016: The Gran Canaria weather goes from hot to "bloody hell, it's hot", starting today. 

Temperatures will get to over 30ºC during the day by the end of the week so San Juan will be a hot fiesta.

Expect south Gran Canaria to be sunny and hot all week with the north sunny but slightly cooler thanks to a bit of morning cloud and weak Trade Winds.

The highlands will be hot and sunny and we expect at least a yellow temperature aviso at some point during the week. It's not a good week for walking. 

There's been a lot of reports of a big calima to go with the heat, but we're not seeing anything significant on the dust forecasts. There may be some dust in the air midweek, but no sign of a major calima event.

UPDATE 20.06.2016: There will be some calima from Wednesday. 

If this changes, we'll let you know.

San Juan Tides

Low tide on the night of San Juan (Thursday 23) is 22.17 so there will be plenty of space on the beaches for the traditional night time party.

Walking backwards into the sea at midnight brings you good luck for the year.

  • 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.
