Temperatures are expected to reach or exceed 38ºC in the hills behind the resorts in Gran Canaria. 

Gran Canaria is also on serious fire alert: Please don't think of having a bbq in the mountains or or throwing a cigarette stub out of the car, as there's a serious fire risk with this kind of dry hot weather.

As always: slap on the sun screen, stay in the shade and drink plenty of water. Enjoy the heat! :)
