Gran Canaria Weather: Sunny Weekend But Windy On Sunday

Sunshine forecast for most of Gran Canaria Sunshine forecast for most of Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

The sunshine continues in Gran Canaria this weekend, although the wind changes on Saturday afternoon and we could have a blowy and dusty Sunday.

Last weekend was record-breaking across the Canary Islands with new temperature records for January and the sunny weather is set to continue all across Gran Canaria.

However, it does look like Sunday will be gusty as a strong southeast wind blows in: Let's hope for the sake of the Gran Canaria marathon runners that it doesn't bring much dust.

So far, the dust forecast isn't showing much airborne dust over North Africa that could blow over, but it is too soon to be sure.

Temperatures will be in the mid-20s during the day and just below 20ºC at night. The sea temperature is holding up for the time of year and is still a pleasant 21.5ºC.

Surfers; Head to the north coast on Saturday for the biggest swells. 

Alex says: Going to the beach on Sunday? Head to the Puerto Rico / Mogán area rather than Maspalomas to avoid the worst of the wind.

    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.
