Cool Weekend With Sunshine In South Gran Canaria

A new blast of cool air from the north arrives in Gran Canaria just in time for the weekend. It will bring cloud and showers to north Gran Canaria but shouldn't have any effect on the resorts apart from a few cloudy patches.

The cool air from the North Atlantic, known as a Nortada, will bring the temperature down all over Gran Canaria, but the south should still get sunshine.

It could be breezy in the south on Saturday.

Last weekend's weather was positive for Gran Canaria as the centre of the island got almost 100 litres of rain per square metre. That's not enough to fill the reservoirs, but it's a good start. 

The water temperature in south Gran Canaria is still between 21º-22ºC; plenty warm enough for a good swim when the sun is shining.

Earthquake between Gran Canaria and Tenerife

Last night there were two earthquakes at the site of the underwater volcano between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, called the Volcán de Enmedio (The Volcano in the Middle). The strongest was 3.1 on the Richter Scale. It was not felt by anyone on either island.

Small quakes are a regular event at the Volcán de Enmedio site and pose no danger to anyone.

  • 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.
