Gran Canaria Weather: A Break In The Sunshine On Sunday

The constant sunshine takes a break on Sunday & Monday The constant sunshine takes a break on Sunday & Monday www.photosgrancanaria.com

A cold, wet front is due to sweep over the Canaries on Sunday and Monday, but the sunshine will be back afterwards.

The weather for the last few weeks in Gran Canaria has been hot, sunny and more like summer than December. This is because east winds have pushed warm, dry African air over the islands.

However, on Saturday night or Sunday morning, the clouds will roll in as a cheeky blob of cold, wet air from the north passes over the islands. Expect clouds and some rain in north Gran Canaria, and some cloud in the south. Rain is less likely in the south.

The front could also whip up the sea and La Palma and El Hierro have a weather aviso for strong waves on Saturday. 

By Tuesday, the front will have gone and the African weather will be back for a few days.

Long term, it looks like we may get a soggy New Year's present from the north, but we'll have to wait and see how the situation develops.

    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.
