Weather Forecast: Summer Has Arrived In Gran Canaria

Hot weather in Gran Canaria heralds the arrival of summer Hot weather in Gran Canaria heralds the arrival of summer Photosgrancanaria.com

17.04.2017: Gran Canaria had a hot and sunny Easter with temperatures peaking at over 30ºC on Sunday and today. It looks like summer is well on the way.

Th maximum temperature recorded in Gran Canaria over the weekend was 33.6ºC in Mogán while Puerto Rico reached 33.5ºC. Today, Monday, will probably be hotter.

That said, things will cool down as of tomorrow as the wind swings to the north and brings cooler air from the North Atlantic. The north of the island will get some cloud but we expect most of the island to be hot and sunny all week.

The chances of a late soaking are fading by the day and it looks like we'll be getting classic summer weather from now on.

That means cool temperatures at low altitude in north Gran Canaria and hot days almost everywhere else. If you haven't been up to see the flowers at the top of the island, go ASAP as they will fade fast. 

We'll keep updating the weather forecast if the summer pattern is disrupted but it will probably be rather boring between now and October (at least from a weatherman's perspective).

    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.
