Gran Canaria Weather: Summer Ends This Weekend

Gran Canaria weather turns cooler this weekend Gran Canaria weather turns cooler this weekend www.photosgrancanaria.com

Enjoy the Gran Canaria warmth this week because things turn cooler as of Sunday.

The last couple of weeks have been warm and sunny thanks to a blast of African air and stable conditions over the Atlantic Ocean, but a mass of polar air is due to arrive over Spain on Saturday and the effects will reach the Canary Islands a day later.

Expect temperatures to be much cooler. Cloud and even rain are likely, but it's too early to know exactly how this blob of weather will affect Gran Canaria. 

We do know that as it is coming in from the north, the resorts and the south coast will be sheltered by the highland sand will get off lightly compared to the north.

If you're coming to Gran Canaria next week, bring a layer as the evenings will be below 20ºC (that counts as cold round here). 

As for surf., this weather system will cause the first serious and sustained swell of the season, especially along the north coast. The forecast has waves up to three metres for Wednesday 25th.

  • 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.
