Three Kings Bring Rain And Cool Temperatures to Gran Canaria

A blast of cold, wet air from the north is due to hit Gran Canaria and the Canary Islands on Three Kings Day (January 6th). 

It will cause temperatures to drop by a few degrees (by up to 10ºC in the highlands) and will bring showers and even the odd intense rainstorm to the north of the island. In the south and the resorts, the effect will be much weaker although you can expect some cloud and even a few showers over the weekend.

The sea will be rough all around Gran Canaria on Saturday and even rougher on Sunday with waves up to five metres along the north coast. The whole of Gran Canaria is on yellow alert for wind on Sunday, with the north on Orange alert for heavy seas. Please stay away from the shore as big waves are unpredictable and dangerous. 

This episode of real weather will fade away throughout Monday.

  • 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.
