Gran Canaria Weather: Winter Is Over, Go Back To The Beach

The sunshine is back in Gran Canaria The sunshine is back in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

FEBRUARY 21, 2016: With the Gran Canaria highlands still covered in snow, it might seem silly to say that the recent patch of winter weather is over, but the forecast for this week is for sunshine in south Gran Canaria.

The low pressure that caused the rain and low temperatures last week has weakened and is moving north allowing normal service to resume in Gran Canaria.

The south of Gran Canaria will be sunny all week and the resort beaches will be warm and pleasant. North Gran Canaria will be somewhat cloudy but much warmer than it was last week. 

Day temperatures will rise to the mid-twenties during the day and minimums should be around 16ºC at night. 

The sea will also calm down from tomorrow and the sea temperature is 19ºC.

As for the snow; The roads up to the highlands are now open so tomorrow morning is your best bet to get up and see it. Now that the cold air has moved on it will melt fast. Head for the highest part of the island at Pico de las Nieves.

  • 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.
