Gran Canaria Weather Forecast: A Sunny Day With Some Clouds

October fluffy clouds in Gran Canaria October fluffy clouds in Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

The Gran Canaria weather today is classic October stuff: Blue skies with fluffy clouds.

In south Gran Canaria and the resorts, the day will start with blue skies and gradually get cloudier as white clouds form over the southern highlands. These clouds are due to hot air rising off the island and cooling as it goes.

In the north we'll have the opposite; clouds that backed up against the steep island during the night will be there in the morning but will burn off as the day heats up.

There is a chance of a shower in the afternoon buy nothing serious.

Expect the temperatures to be in the high twenties on the beaches and no lower than 20ºC in the evening.

Tomorrow looks like it will be similar, but there are clouds and even showers forecast for Wednesday. We'll keep you informed as the forecasts get more accurate.

    Tip Of The Day: Avoid Bank Card Charges By Paying In Euros

    Save money and avoid rip-off bank charges while in Gran Canaria by paying in euros when using your credit or debit card.

    Many bars and restaurants in Gran Canaria, and in almost all European holiday destinations, give you the option of paying in euros or in your home currency. Opting for your own currency, while it may seem like the safer option, can add as much as 5% to the bill as it triggers dynamic currency conversion. 

    DCC basically means that the exchange rate is calculated at point of sale rather than by your bank. It allows you to see the total cost of the transaction in your own currency but adds up to 5% to the total because it uses a terrible exchange rate. 

    Since the extra money is shared between your bank and the merchant, some places will automatically bill you in your own currency and hope you don't notice. You have the legal right to refuse and void the transaction should this happen. 

    ATMs too

    The same applies when taking money out of ATM machines in Gran Canaria (and anywhere in Europe); Always choose the local currency option to avoid losing money to poor exchange rates.

    If you opt for the local currency option, using bank ATMs is often the cheapest and safest way of getting euros in Gran Canaria. It's far safer than having a big pile of euros hidden in your room or tucked into your shorts.
