Weather Forecast: Cold Drop Threatens Gran Canaria This Week

Gran Canaria weather: A cold drop is heading slowly for the Canary Islands Gran Canaria weather: A cold drop is heading slowly for the Canary Islands NASA

A blob of cold, humid Polar air sitting over southern Spain threatens to bring cold and rain to Gran Canaria and the eastern Canary Islands this week. 

Known as a Gota Fria or Cold Drop, this air is slowly moving south towards the Canary Islands after giving southern Spain a good soaking.

It is still too soon to know whether the air will get to the Canary Islands before it fades away. At the moment, it's looking like it will stop over Morocco and won't affect Gran Canaria all that much (Lanzarote can expect a soaking). 

However, these things are a tad unpredictable and if it does get close to Gran Canaria towards the middle and end of the week, you can expect rain all over the island and especially in the north and centre. 

Even if it stops well north or east of the island, there will be cool air, clouds and some rain over north Gran Canaria all week. 

South Gran Canaria, as always, will escape the worst of the north weather and could well be sunny even if the rest of the island is under heavy cloud.

    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.
