Gran Canaria Weather: Rain This Week But Mostly In The North

Spain and most of Europe are about to go Baltic due to a vast blob of freezing Polar air and this will push rain and cool air south towards Gran Canaria. It will affect the north and the highlands much more than the south and the resorts. 

From Mondey evening until Friday, north Gran Canaria can expect cool temperatures, cloud and a fair few showers. 

The highlands will be cold and there is a good chance of some more snow on Wednesday and Thursday morning. It will be above 1700 metres. 

The south should be sunny with some cloud on Monday and Tuesday, then get a mix of cloud and sunshine on Wednesday and Thursday. We can't rule out the odd shower.

The sea will be rough all around Gran Canaria on Wednesday and Thursday with waves up to six metres. 

From Friday the cold air will fade away and we'll be back (finger's crossed) to sunshine and smiles in the south by the weekend.

There are waterfalls in the highlands and along the west coast; places like Charco Azul by El Risco and Charco de la Paloma close to Tejeda are well worth visiting. Be aware that the road between Artenara and Tejeda is curreclty cut off due to a landslide.
