Weather Forecast: A Hot And Dusty Week In Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria weather forecast: A hot week with some dust in the air Gran Canaria weather forecast: A hot week with some dust in the air

06.03.2017: This week in Gran Canaria, the weather will be hot and sunny across the island with some calima dust in the air.

It's still technically winter but it won't feel like it in Gran Canaria this week thanks to a burst of hot African air carrying some dust.

The calima is being dragged over the Canary Islands by a low-pressure system to the west of the islands. This system won't affect the island directly so there's no chance of rain this week. 

The dust will be high in the atmosphere so expect hazy skies until Friday when it looks like we'll get a proper calima day with dusty skies and limited visibility.

Temperatures this week could reach over 30ºC during the heat of the day. 

South Gran Canaria will get some waves this week; nothing huge but enough to require caution on the rocks and to give exposed beaches like Patalavaca and Taurito some waves.

    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.
