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

  • The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!
    The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!

    If there is one thing we hate it is visitors being tricked in Gran Canaria. In the past we've warned about overcharging at Gran Canaria chemists, and rip off electronics shops in resorts. 

    In this Tip Of The Day we return to the island's chemists or rather, to the island's fake chemists.

    A chemist in Gran Canaria is called a Farmacia and always has a green cross sign. Farmacias are the only place tobuy medicine in Spain, even basics like paracetamol.

    However, there is another kind of shop in Gran Canaria that looks and sounds like a chemist but doesn't sell medicine. This is the Parafarmacia and it also uses a green cross sign.

    A parafarmacia is a herbal medicine shop that is not allowed to sell any normal medicine such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or antibiotics. 

    Instead, parafarmacias sell herbal alternatives to medicine but don't have to prove that they work and they can charge whatever they want.

    We recently heard from a visitor to Gran Canaria who went into a parafarmacia and was charged 40 euros for a herbal alternative to Ibuprofen. It was only when they read the label that they realised what had happened. 

    To locate a genuine farmacia, see this website and search within your municipio (Puerto Rico is in Mogán, Playa del Inglés is in San Bartolomé de Tirajana). At weekends and on fiesta days many farmacias close but there is always one open, known as the farmacia de guardia, in each municipio.

    Lex Says: To keep costs down, see this article for the way to ask for generic medicine rather than expensive branded alternatives.
