Weather Forecast: Sunny But Cool Until Christmas (Except Maybe Wednesday)

20.12.2016: This week will be sunny but cool (by Canary Islands standards) in south Gran Canaria and the resorts, and cool and cloudy in the north.

The Trade Winds are pushing cool air down from the north and will pile up cloud against the north coast. 

However, the sheltered south of the island will be sunny with temperatures above 25ºC during the day.

The only time where it looks like the cloud may reach south Gran Canaria is Wednesday afternoon.

North Gran Canaria could get showers any day this week with Wednesday looking most likely. 

The surf this week is decent with proper winter swells along the north coast. Today is the biggest day of the week with waves over a metre. 

This weather looks set to continue over the Christmas weekend. We'll update if that changes.

    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.
