Gran Canaria Weather Forecast: Clearing Up After The Rain

After a cool weekend with showers all over Gran Canaria and some welcome heavy rain up in the highlands, the weather in Gran Canaria will return to normal throughout the week. 

Showers will continue through Monday but by Tuesday the clouds will clear everywhere but along the south coast. The temperatures will rise and by Wednesday we should be back to blue skies albeit with cloudy patches and some high, wispy cloud.

There is still the chance of the odd shower in north Gran Canaria early in the week. The south and the resorts may also get the odd shower.  

Towards the end of the week, the north will be cloudy and will see some showers although there is no significant weather headed our way.

The sea will also settle down as we move through the week. The sea temperature around Gran Canaria is currently 20ºC.

The rain last weekend brought almost 100 litres per square metre to the north and centre of Gran Canaria but barely touched the southern highlands where it is most needed. Gran Canaria's reservoirs are currently at their lowest level since they were first built decades ago.

  • 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.
