South and Central Gran Canaria are on heat alert today with big waves expected until Saturday.

After a rare cloudy start to the day yesterday the news is a bit of a surprise. However, heat alerts are automatically triggered when the forecast temperature goes over 34ºC.

The high temperatures in south Gran Canaria today are expected in inland areas and the highlands. Walking in the hills today is not recommended as the dry heat can dehydrate you in minutes.

As of 17.00 on the 23rd July, the southern half of Gran Canaria is also on alert from strong waves up to force seven. This alert has been extended until the end of Saturday. Please remember that along rocky coasts, it's always easier to get into the water than it is to get out again. 

Surfers will be happy as the windguru forecast for Friday looks pretty good on the east coast with wind up to 28 knots and waves to 1.5 metres.

    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.
