Gran Canaria Weather: Some Rain To Start The Week

Rain forecast today in Gran Canaria Rain forecast today in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

Teide volcano was wearing its cloud hat yesterday, a sure sign that the weather was about to change.

And change it has: There's a serious patch of cloud and storms brewing off the coast of Portugal. It's moving away from the Canaries but is dragging warm, wet air up from the tropics towards us. 

A wet front coming from the southwest is due to hit Gran Canaria on Monday morning. It'll bring cloud and rain during the day with the west and south getting it first and hardest. 

It'll be warm and sticky all over the island because of the tropical air.

While Tenerife and the western island are currently on a yellow aviso for rain, it's harder to forecast how much rain Gran Canaria will get. 

Tuesday may well still be cloudy and the east and north of the island can expect showers. On Wednesday the winds shift back to the north so we can expect the weather to return to normal; Sunshine in the south and some cloud in the north.

  • 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.
