Gran Canaria Weather: Alerts For Heat And Fire Risk

Hot San Juan weekend coming up in Gran Canaria Hot San Juan weekend coming up in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

Gran Canaria is on alert for temperatures over 34ºC until Sunday, and on fire alert.

The fire risk is particularly high on Thursday due to the San Juan tradition of lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks. Please be extra careful with cigarettes and even with glass bottles, and call 112 if you see any sign of a fire.

It's way too hot to be walking up in the cumbres this weekend. 

The heat alert lasts until Sunday when the blob of hot, dusty air that is currently over the Canary Islands is due to fade. Until then, expect temperatures well over 30ºC between midday and 18.00 every day. The north will be cooler with some early and evening cloud cover. 

Be aware that southeast coast could well be gusty over the weekend. 

Happy San Juan!

  • 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.
