Gran Canaria Weather: Winter Is Coming (Just)

Cloud and some rain heading towards Gran Canaria Cloud and some rain heading towards Gran Canaria www.photosgrancanaria.com

Forecast for week starting February 11, 2016: After months of almost constant sunshine and the hottest January for 55 years it finally looks like Gran Canaria is to get a blast of winter.

The Trade Winds are roaring and pushing weather down from the North Atlantic and a channel has opened up between the Azores anticyclone (normally a barrier) and the high pressure over North Africa. Cold air and clouds from Europe are heading down this channel and should reach Gran Canaria on Monday.

The result will be a drop in temperature and heavy cloud and light-to-moderate rain in the north of the island. The south of the island won't be affected as much, although we expect some cloud and maybe even some rain on Monday and Tuesday.

A second pulse of cold air and rain looks likely towards the end of the week. 

We'll update as soon as the forecasts get more accurate.

    Gran Canaria Tip: What Are The Best Car Hire Companies?

    This is one of the most common questions we get in our Facebook Group (with over 30,000 members) and fortunately, it is an easy one to answer. The Gran Canaria Info admin team and the fans in our Facebook group agree...

    The best car hire companies in Gran Canaria are local ones with desk at the airport and honest pricing policies that don't have any hidden insurance or fuel deposit costs. They just rent you a good car at a good price with no fuss at all. 

    We recommend Mr Car Hire Gran Canaria (Nick); an idependent car rental professional who works with all the main local rental companies in Gran Canaria. This means that he can always find you a good deal.

    Mr Car Hire also offers fully comprehensive insurance on all car rental, three-day bookings, and delively of your car right to your door anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

    We advise all Gran Canaria visitors to avoid booking the cheapest possible car on generic car rental websites or via their flight company because you often end up paying large deposits, extra fuel and insurance costs and all kinds of other costs once you arrive to pick up your car at the airport.
