Weather Forecast: Calm, Sunny And Hot In Gran Canaria

Weather Forecast: Hot and sunny this week in Gran Canaria Weather Forecast: Hot and sunny this week in Gran Canaria photosgrancanaria.com

03.01.2017: The dust will fade today and the weather in Gran Canaria should be warm, sunny and calm until at least Friday.

If you are in south Gran Canaria this week, expect cloudless days with lots of sunshine and temperatures over 25ºC. There will be a breeze but there shouldn't be any strong winds. The north of the island will be similar. Evenings will be cool (below 20ºC) because there are no clouds to trap the heat of the day. 

Note that there is a big weather system in the Atlantic Ocean trying to get to us, but it is being pushed back by a high-pressure system sitting over North Africa. All the models say that the African air will beat the storm and that it won't get to the Canary Islands. 

However, we can expect more calima on Friday as the two weather systems collide and the winds swing to the south-east.

It's not going to be a great week for surf with the waves forecast to remain under a metre all around the island.

So, it's a 'see you on the beach' week in Gran Canaria. 

Welcome to sunny 2017!

    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.
