Sunshine and cloud forecast this week, with showers possible Sunshine and cloud forecast this week, with showers possible www.photosgrancanaria.com

28.11.2016: While the south of Gran Canaria will get plenty of sunshine, expect a bit of everything all over Gran Canaria this week.

This mix of cloud, sunshine and showers should give us plenty of rainbows during the week. 

Autumnal!

Monday and Tuesday should be fairly stable with clouds building up over the centre of the island and maybe spreading to the coasts by late afternoon. Local showers are likely in the highlands and the north.

On Tuesday night a band of cloud and showers sweeps across the islands from the north-west. It should affect the north more than the south but rain is possible all over Gran Canaria. It could be intense in places. 

Once this band of cloud fades, the temperature will go back up and the rest of the week should be calm and mostly sunny (with more cloud build-up in the mountains).

As for the weekend, it's a bit soon to be sure but it looks like we may be getting more showers.

The surf is big today and will hold up in north Gran Canaria for most of the week.

    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.
