Gran Canaria Weather: Snow And Rain Forecast This Week

Snow forecast in the Gran Canaria & Canary Islands mountains this week Snow forecast in the Gran Canaria & Canary Islands mountains this week photosgrancanaria.com

A cold snap heading towards the eastern Canary Islands from the north is expected to bring rain and thunderstorm to Gran Canaria and snow to the very top of the island.

The high-altitude low-pressure system arrives on Monday and will be around until at least Thursday. 

On Monday north Gran Canaria can expect cold air, showers and maybe thunderstorms with hail. The highlands could well get snowfall. The south, protected by the highlands from the worst of the weather, may get rain but should also see some sunshine. Air temperatures won't be above 20ºC.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we'll get more of the same. After that, the cold air should fade away and the weather will return to normal.

We'll update if there are significant changes to the forecast.

  • 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.
