Weekend Rain In Gran Canaria: Maybe!

Gran Canaria may well miss the rain forecast for this weekend. Gran Canaria may well miss the rain forecast for this weekend.

The weather system heading towards the Canary Islands looks like it will drop plenty of rain on the western islands but there is a good chance that it will stall before reaching Gran Canaria.

The low pressure system is heading towards the Canary Islands from the south-west bringing rain and wind. However, there is also a high pressure sitting over North Africa that will stop the rain from reaching the eastern Canary Islands. The latest models suggest that it will also keep the rain away from Gran Canaria.

So, instead of a soaking this weekend we can expect some cloud and maybe some showers in western and southern Gran Canaria. The clouds could well hang around on Monday. 

If this forecast changes, we'll update you asap on our Facebook page.
