Gran Canaria Weather: Cloudy Afternoons Until Sunday

White stuff? With no Trade Winds, Gran Canaria was cloudy yesterday White stuff? With no Trade Winds, Gran Canaria was cloudy yesterday NASA

27.05.2015 With no Trade Wind blowing from the north, expect cloudy afternoons and even a few drops of evening rain until the end of the weekend.

Clouds develop over Gran Canaria every day because water evaporates from the land. Most days the Trade Wind blows them away before they get big enough to block out the sun. But when the wind fades the clouds grow over the centre of the island and eventually reach the coast.

Then the tourists start grumbling.

There's still a couple of days before the wind comes back. It dropped off completely on Tuesday night and returns late on Saturday. In the meantime, it should be sunny in the mornings and early afternoon all over Gran Canaria. but the clouds will grow during Friday and Saturday and could well cover the island again (yes, even the south).

If you head up into the highlands, you'll get a mix of everything and even the odd shower. 

On Sunday, north Gran Canaria will cloudy but the rest of the island should be blue all day long. 

The rest of the week look good too.

  • 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.
