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.

  • 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.
