You can find the current weather forecast for Gran Canaria above
Situated between Tenerife to the west and Fuerteventura to the east, Gran Canaria lies at the centre of the Canary Islands. The weather on Gran Canaria is strongly influenced by the trade winds and the Canary Current. On the northern slopes in particular, the trade winds bring precipitation – usually in the form of thick banks of fog.
Much like on the neighbouring islands, the weather on Gran Canaria varies greatly between the north and the south. Whilst the northern part of the island is quite damp and therefore fertile, the sun beats down fiercely in the south, at times transforming the landscape into a lunar landscape.
14-day forecast for Gran Canaria
The weather in the Canary Islands is very changeable. Whilst a forecast for this period is technically possible, it would be far too vague. We have therefore decided not to offer such a service. The likelihood of a forecast issued so far in advance actually proving accurate has proved to be too low. The weather in this archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean is simply too volatile for that.
Annual average weather in Gran Canaria
People often mistakenly assume that the mild winter temperatures in Gran Canaria mean the summer will be uncomfortably hot. However, even during the hot months, the weather remains moderate thanks to the trade winds. The sea temperature is also pleasant all year round. It ranges from 18 degrees in winter to 22 degrees in the warmer seasons. This, combined with around 2,700 hours of sunshine per year, makes Gran Canaria a wonderful holiday destination. After all, there are on average only about 26 days of rain per year.
Gran Canaria weather: the warmest months
