Weather Forecast: What Do You Mean Clouds & Rain?

26.04.2017: Gran Canaria will get showers and maybe the odd bit of thunder and lightning over the weekend, but there will be plenty of sunshine in between the clouds.

South Gran Canaria woke up this morning to a dark cloudy sky (the north was sunny) and we will be getting bands of cloud, showers and even the odd rumble of thunder until Sunday.

This is due to a weather system that looked like it would only reach the western Canary Islands.

However, the cold northern air is colliding with warmer tropical stuff and has become stronger than forecast. It is now likely to send bands of cloud and showers over south and west Gran Canaria tomorrow and Saturday. On Sunday it will continue but more in the north. 

The weather system is pretty fragmented so you can expect plenty of sunshine in between the bands of cloud and showers. 

By Monday, the system will have faded away and we'll be back to sunny skies in south Gran Canaria 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.
