Gran Canaria Weather: Wind And Waves, Maybe Sunshine In The South

If you're in Gran Canaria on holiday we wish we could tell you that the weather is going to go back to perpetual blue skies and sunshine. But we can't!

The cold snap that has sent waves of rain and even hail across Gran Canaria is now moving away from the island but it will be replaced by strong and damp Trade Winds over the weekend. 

These will mostly affect the north of the island so there is a good chance that the resorts and beaches in the south will see some sunshine over the weekend (head to Puerto Rico and Mogán for the best chance of sunshine). Temperatures will be cool by Gran Canaria standards and there is still the chance of showers. 

The snow in the hills has now melted away so there isn't much point going up the Cumbres unless you like rain and fog. 

From a residents point of view, the rain over the past four days fell everywhere except where it is most needed. This means that the big reservoirs in the southern highlands are still almost empty. 

However, all is not lost because the freezing weather forecast in Spain early next week may well send us more rain (sorry about that if you're a tourist).

    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.
