The water temperature in Gran Canaria in August reaches 23ºC, ideal for floating.

It’s so hot in Gran Canaria in August that you need to plan your days to avoid the midday sun. It’s best to keep in the shade between 10.30 and 15.00 as the intense rays burn pale skin quickly. We recommend that everybody drinks plenty of water and wears a hat and a thick layer of sunscreen.

On the beaches the sand holds its warmth for ages after sunset and you can sit and enjoy the cool breeze until well after dark.

August in Gran canaria is a sunbather’s paradise. After a week here you forget what it’s like to wake up and not see a huge blue sky.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
