Weather Forecast: The Rain Hardly Came, But The Sunshine Will

17.10.2016: The rain that was headed towards the Canary Islands yesterday faded away before it reachedus. All we got in Gran Canaria was a few drops of rain scattered across the island.

The remains of the clouds that brought the scant showers should fade away today to leave us with a sunny afternoon.

The rest of the week will be sunny in south Gran Canaria with maximum day temperatures up cose to 30ºC. North Gran Canaria will be similar although there will be light morning cloud.

Another bizarre consequence of yesterday's non-weather was a flat sea that put the Frontón King surf competition on hold. It look like conditions won't improve at the Frontón wave until Tuesday.

All in all, a great week to be in Gran Canaria on holiday although spare a thought for south Gran Canaria's farmers as they are getting desperate for some of the wet stuff.

    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.
