Weather Forecast: Carnival Is Coming And So Is The Rain

The rain is coming to Gran Canaria this weekend in time for carnival The rain is coming to Gran Canaria this weekend in time for carnival

There's a low pressure heading down towards the Canary Islands from Portugal and it's going to cause cloud, wind and rain over the weekend.  

This is the first real weather to hit Gran Canaria this winter and it starts to arrive on Thursday with cloud and showers in the evening in the north.

By Friday, the cloud will cover the whole island (there could still be sunny periods in the south) and the north will get more rain.

The weekend will be cold(ish), cloudy, windy and wet, but just how much rain depends on how close the low pressure gets to the Canary Islands. 

We expect the wettest day to be Saturday.

The sea will be rough all around the island for the next few days with the biggest waves along the north coast; it won't be sunny, but the surf is going to be epic.

If you are on holiday in Gran Canaria, then take advantage of the sunshine today because it is going to the last sunny day for a few days.

    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.
