03.12.2016: Gran Canaria is due cloud, strong wind and showers starting on Saturday afternoon.

There's a big weather system in the Atlantic but the Canary Islands are only getting the tail end of it. However, that's enough to send some real weather our way.

Saturday will get cloudier and windier as the day goes on with the rain due to start properly in the afternoon. It won't be that strong but will go on into the night. 

Gran Canaria will also get windier throughout the day and tonight could well be a howler, especially in west and south-west Gran Canaria. The southern half of Gran Canaria is currently on alert for strong winds. 

La Palma island, where the alert is orange, is getting this weather front before Gran Canaria and has already registered winds of over 100kmph.

The cloud and wind should fade away during Sunday.

  • 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.
