Weather Forecast: Some Showers (North) This Weekend, Maybe More From Sunday

13.10.2016: Spain got seriously wet yesterday and the tail end of that weather is arriving in the Canary Islands today. It won't affect the south of the island, but the north can expect the odd shower (although the sun is blazing this morning).

 

There is a more serious weather front heading towards us from out west in the Atlantic and it has the potential to drop some serious rain on Gran Canaria on Sunday and Monday. However, the latest predictions suggest that it will affect the western islands but not reach Gran Canaria (at least will full force).

So, what does it mean for sunbathers? Sunday afternoon and/or Monday could be cloudy and even rainy in south Gran Canaria and the rest of the island. By Tuesday, things will be getting back to sunny again. 

We'll know more by Saturday.

In the meantime, expect the sun to shine on the beaches and the temperature to be up around 30ºC during the heat of the day. It'll cool down in the evenings but temperatures won't be far below 20ºC. 

The surf is picking up in the north and this weather front should bring some swells to the southern breaks as well. If it does, Tauro beach's new flood defenses will be tested during high tides.

  • 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.
