Gran Canaria is now officially on alert for hot weather as of Monday July 6 2015.

The Spanish AEMET weather service is warning that Gran Canaria will hit 34ºC on Monday and get hotter on Tuesday through Thursday. The south and centre of the island is on yellow alert for heat on Monday and orange alert on Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to reach 38ºC before dropping on Friday.

The forecast for Monday also includes gusts of wind up to 55km per hour in the south east.

As always during hot weather in Gran Canaria, wear a hat, stay out of the sun as much as possible between midday and 18.00 and drink plenty of water. Don't go walking in the hills during the heat of the day as the hot, dry air dehydrates you within minutes.

Also, please don't smoke or light fires anywhere in rural areas and stay off dirt roads; sparks from car metal hitting stones causes forest fires. Anyone caught having a BBQ in the pine forests will be put in prison (seriously).

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
