Gran Canaria Weather: Sunny Weekend Coming Up

That's it folks, back to the beach; at least until Sunday afternoon. 

The first wave of bad weather from the low-pressure system to the north of Gran Canaria is pretty much over so we can expect a largely sunny weekend, although we can't rule out the odd shower.

The wind will drop away during Saturday morning.

The resorts in the south could cloud over in the afternoons and you may even get a spot of rain. This is just standard autumn weather.

A second front could well sweep in from the north late on Sunday bringing wind and showers. It would affect the north of the island much more than the south.

It is over 23ºC at dawn today (Saturday) so expect temperatures up to 30ºC and a fair bit of humidity.

There have been strong waves around the Canaries (especially at Arrecife in Lanzarote) so please keep an eye on the sea and stay away from rocky shores if it gets rough.

As for next week, everything depends on what the low-pressure system does. If it moves back towards the Canary Islands, then we get more cloud and rain. If it continues to move northeast towards Spain, then we get sunshine.

Our money's on the sunny.

    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.
