Debunking the nonsense Canary Islands earthquake and volcano story Debunking the nonsense Canary Islands earthquake and volcano story photosgrancanaria.com

According to the British tabloid press, a swarm of earthquakes is about to trigger a mega eruption of Teide volcano in Tenerife. However, the whole story is nonsense and here's Alex from Gran Canaria Info to explain why.

If you believe the press reports, the Canary Islands are trembling as Teide wakes up and tries to outdo the volcano on Hawaii with rivers of lava. 

But there hasn't even been a single tremor in the Canary Islands that anyone has felt. We've had a normal amount of tiny quakes caused by landslides deep under the islands. 

These are 100% normal and there have actually been more small quakes in mainland Spain during the same period of time. 

There is nothing to worry about: What the video below for the facts.

  • 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.
