Gran Canaria Weather: Winter On The Backburner

Gran Canaria weather this week: Mostly sunny Gran Canaria weather this week: Mostly sunny www.photosgrancanaria.com

The weather in Gran Canaria this week is looking good with blue skies mixed with a bit of high cloud.

A high-pressure system over North Africa is stopping any clouds from the North Atlantic from reaching the Canary Islands and there is no sign that this will change over the next few days. Expect sunshine with some high cloud at least until Friday 15. 

The north of the island may get some cloud forming during the afternoons, but not enough to keep you off the beaches. 

A weak east wind may bring a slight calima over the island on Monday afternoon.

The sea this week starts pretty rough in the north but will calm down after Tuesday. The south coast will be calm all week. 

Temperatures will be between 18ºC and 25ºC during the day; Pretty much perfect beach and walking weather.

Not bad for January.

Lex Says: There's a pretty mean-looking low pressure to the west of the Canary Islands at the moment, but it looks like it will go north and miss us completely.

  • 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.
