Gran Canaria Weather: All Change As Calima Replaces Cold Air

The Gran Canaria weather this week looks like this The Gran Canaria weather this week looks like this www.photosgrancanaria.com

An east wind brings warmth and dust to Gran Canaria this week following a few days of unsettled northern air.

The Azores anticyclone has moved east  and is now sitting over Spain. This causes a clockwise flow of air down over North Africa and then west towards the Canary Islands. 

december alertaThe upshot is warm, dusty air over the Canary Islands from today until at least Thursday. The Spanish weather service has issued an aviso for dust in the air in south Gran Canaria for Tuesday evening; This happens when it expects visibility to be below 3000 metres.  We're not sure how much dust will arrive yet, but it will be enough to jazz up the sunsets and lighten the sky.

Expect temperatures to peak in the high 20s and be above 20ºC at night. The sea temperature this week is 22.5ºC.

Surfers; Get in the water today or Tuesday morning as things look pretty flat towards the end of the week.

  • 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.
