Gran Canaria Weather: Perfect For The Fiesta Weekend

Perfect holiday weekend coming up Perfect holiday weekend coming up www.photosgrancanaria.com

12.08.2016: After a week of exceptional heat things in Gran Canaria go back to normal this weekend. Hot and sunny, but not too hot.

The Trade Winds have now pushed the hot African air away and Gran Canaria and the Canary islands are returning to their normal weather pattern for August. Basically, that's sunny everywhere except for some cloud over the north coast. There could even be a few early morning drops of rain in the north.

Temperatures will reach 30ºC during the day in many places in south Gran Canaria but won't spike higher. South Gran Canaria is on yellow alert for heat today (temperatures up to 34ºC today) but there are no alerts over the weekend. 

Remember that Monday is a fiesta so the beaches will be busy over the weekend.

  • 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.
