Gran Canaria Weather: Sunny New Year

Gran Canaria on December 30 2015 Gran Canaria on December 30 2015 www.photosgrancanaria.com

The weather forecast for New Year 2015 in Gran Canaria is simple: Blue sky and warm temperatures.

The east winds are holding steady so we should have sunshine all day, every day for at least the next five days. The only negative is that we could see some calima dust blowing over from North Africa.

Further into the future, this exceptional run of hot, sunny weather has to end one day soon. The long-range forecasts suggest that the Trade Winds will pick up in the new year, bringing clouds back to the north of Gran Canaria. 

Expect day temperatures this week around 25ºC, dropping significantly at night as there is no cloud to hold in the heat. Minmum night time temps could go as low as 15ºC at sea level and in the resorts. That's almost cold enough for a blanket.

The sea remains rough over the new year period, especially in the north of Gran Canaria. While the waves on the resort beaches will be smaller, they could still be significant. Please keep to designated swimming areas and take care close to the shore.

    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.
