Weather Forecast: A Lovely Weekend With Possible Weather Next Week

07.04.2017: This weekend and the beginning of next week will be calm and sunny in Gran Canaria but there is an outside chance of a spot of real weather towards the middle of Easter week.

This weekend will be calm and sunny all over Gran Canaria although the lack of wind will allow clouds to build up during the day; it may cloud over in the afternoons. Temperatures will drop slightly over the weekend as the wind swings to the west and brings cool air from the Atlantic.

Next week will probably be similar; the temperature and the humidity will increase at the start of the week.

But...

There's currently a large weather system gaining strength over the Azores and it may affect the Canary Islands midway through next week. However, the latest weather model updates suggest that it is unlikely to reach us. The western islands may get some rain and Gran Canaria could get a few showers. 

That said, these things are unpredictable and the system may surprise us. We'll keep you updated if anything significant (we're talking a couple of days of rain in the worst case scenario) looks likely. 

The surf along the north coast will be small but consistent over the weekend while the southern breaks will be barely large enough to surf.

    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.
