Weather Forecast: Carnival Is Coming And So Is The Rain

The rain is coming to Gran Canaria this weekend in time for carnival The rain is coming to Gran Canaria this weekend in time for carnival

There's a low pressure heading down towards the Canary Islands from Portugal and it's going to cause cloud, wind and rain over the weekend.  

This is the first real weather to hit Gran Canaria this winter and it starts to arrive on Thursday with cloud and showers in the evening in the north.

By Friday, the cloud will cover the whole island (there could still be sunny periods in the south) and the north will get more rain.

The weekend will be cold(ish), cloudy, windy and wet, but just how much rain depends on how close the low pressure gets to the Canary Islands. 

We expect the wettest day to be Saturday.

The sea will be rough all around the island for the next few days with the biggest waves along the north coast; it won't be sunny, but the surf is going to be epic.

If you are on holiday in Gran Canaria, then take advantage of the sunshine today because it is going to the last sunny day for a few days.

  • 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.
