Gran Canaria Weather: January 2016 The Hottest For 55 Years

January 2016 was one of the hottest on record in Gran Canaria January 2016 was one of the hottest on record in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

January 2016 was the hottest for 55 years across the Canary Islands and February doesn't look much different. 

With record temperatures at several points in the Canary Islands during January, temperatures were closer to June than mid-winter. The month was also dry although this has been a feature of recent Januaries in the Canaries. 

Unless something exceptional happens in the next six weeks, it looks like Gran Canaria is going to skip winter completely.

This weekend looks like it's going to be another sunny one in south Gran Canaria; The high cloud that made last Tuesday cloudy is fading and we may even get a hint of calima on Friday afternoon and Saturday. North Gran Canaria will get a mix of cloud and sunshine with the afternoons sunnier than the mornings. 

Temperatures will be in the mid-to-high twenties on the resort beaches and the evenings this weekend will be mild. 

The surf this weekend will be steady in the north over the weekend but should pick up on Monday.

    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.
