Gran Canaria Weather Aviso For Rain & Waves

Weather warning from north Gran Canaria on Sunday & Monday Weather warning from north Gran Canaria on Sunday & Monday AEMET

After three weeks of constant sunshine and summer temperatures, Gran Canaria is set for a quick blast of winter today and tomorrow. Then it's back to the sunshine.

A cold, wet front is heading towards the Canary Islands from the north-west and is due to hit Gran Canaria this afternoon. The Spanish AEMET weather service has put out an aviso (what's that?) from rain up to 15mm of rain per hour in north Gran Canaria. That might not sound like a lot by northern European standards, but it's enough to cause localised flooding on a steep island made of impermeable lava.

South Gran Canaria and the resorts can expect Sunday afternoon and Monday to be cloudy and breezy with some showers. 

By Tuesday, the front will have passed over the islands and the sunshine should be back although the temperature will be cooler than in recent days.

    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.
