Gran Canaria Weather: It's Bonanza Time In Gran Canaria

Fluffy clouds are typical in Gran Canaria in September Fluffy clouds are typical in Gran Canaria in September www.photosgrancanaria.com

The Trade Winds have faded and we're now in the period of calm, sunny weather known in the Canary Islands as  'las bonanzas de Septiembre'.

Las bonanzas are typically a sunny period all over the island with fluffy clouds building up during the day over the highlands. They can last for weeks depending on conditions in the North Atlantic. 

One cool effect of the bonanzas is the clear air which means that you can see between islands particularly well. Look towards Tenerife from west Gran Canaria and you can often see cars driving at night and even watch fireworks. From the northeast coast, look east and Fuerteventura often appears on the horizon. It's most visible in the mornings when silhouetted by the rising sun. 

Temperatures will be up close to 30ºC this week although you may get some clouds in the afternoons caused by evaporation from the hot island. The sea is between 23-24ºC and about as warm as it gets. 

The north and east coast will get decent swells this week at around a metre.

    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.
