Gran Canaria Weather Forecast: From Clouds To Calima This Week

This week starts cloudy and ends warm but maybe dusty This week starts cloudy and ends warm but maybe dusty www.photosgrancanaria.com

Cold air from the north brings clouds to most of the Canary Islands today and tomorrow. They will clear up during Wednesday and it looks like warm, African air will take over towards the weekend.

North Gran Canaria will be cloudy until Wednesday with showers likely. The south may get a few drops of rain and will be cloudy. North and east Gran Canaria can also expect some cold (you know what we mean) winds at the start of the week. 

By Wednesday, the cloud will clear and it looks like warmer air from North Africa will take its place over the islands. This will definitely warm things up and bring clear skies although it may also drag some calima dust with it. If the calima arrives it will be on Thursday, but it is still too soon to be sure. 

If you want to visit the Cumbres, you may well find that the top of Gran Canaria pokes out above the clouds even in the Medianías (the middle bit) is cloudy and wet. To be sure (as sure as you can be in March) of clear skies up top, it may be best to wait until Wednesday. 

Temperatures will be low (20ºC during the day) on Monday and Tuesday but should rise into the mid-20s later on in the week. 

The north and east coast will get the best o the surf this week. 

Alex Says: The west coast road between La Aldea and Agaete was damaged by the rain last month and won't re-open for at least two months.

    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.
