Strong Winds In Gran Canaria But Heavy Rain Unlikely

Strong wind and some rain this week in Gran Canaria Strong wind and some rain this week in Gran Canaria photosgrancanaria.com

A low pressure system just to the east of the Canary Islands will cause strong winds for the next two days but heavy rain is unlikely.

North Gran Canaria will get some showers over the next few days and there may be a shower or two in the south. It is unlikely to snow anywhere in the Canary Islands except right at the top of Teide volcano as the wind is too strong. (gusts up to 90kmph are forecast). 

The Canary Islands are on alert for strong winds today and tomorow so please be careful close to the sea and up in the highlands. This is especially important on Tuesday when the whole island is on yellow alert for rough seas and the highlands on orange alert for strong winds.

That said, this kind of Cold Drop or Cold Snap is unpredictable so we could get a surprise thunderstorm anywhere in Gran Canaria. 

By Wednesday the wind will have faded and south Gran Canaria should be back in its bubble of sunshine.

  • 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.
