Gran Canaria Forecast: Fluffy Clouds And The Odd Shower

Fluffy clouds forecast this week in Gran Canaria Fluffy clouds forecast this week in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

10.04.2016: The Trade Winds fade away early this week so the skies this week will be full of fluffy white clouds. We may also get some showers, even in south Gran Canaria

With no consistent winds from the north to blow them away, clouds will form over Gran Canaria due to evaporation. It means that the days will start clear but get cloudier. We should get some beautiful, almost tropical cloudscapes.

South Gran Canaria will be sunny but could well see some cloudy afternoons and even a few late showers. However, temperatures will be in the mid-20s and night temperatures are rising as the spring warmth sets in.

North Gran Canaria benefits from the lack of Trade Winds and will be a mix of sunshine and cloudy patches.

Exact conditions depend on how strong the forecast western winds are. A good breeze will blow the cloud away. but calm days will mean more cloud building up.

The sea temperature, normally just over 18ºC at this time of year (as cool as it gets), has held up well this year and is between 19-20ºC. That's perfectly swimmable in the sunshine, especially in the warm shallow water close to the resort beaches.

  • 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.
