Weekend Rain In Gran Canaria: Maybe!

Gran Canaria may well miss the rain forecast for this weekend. Gran Canaria may well miss the rain forecast for this weekend.

The weather system heading towards the Canary Islands looks like it will drop plenty of rain on the western islands but there is a good chance that it will stall before reaching Gran Canaria.

The low pressure system is heading towards the Canary Islands from the south-west bringing rain and wind. However, there is also a high pressure sitting over North Africa that will stop the rain from reaching the eastern Canary Islands. The latest models suggest that it will also keep the rain away from Gran Canaria.

So, instead of a soaking this weekend we can expect some cloud and maybe some showers in western and southern Gran Canaria. The clouds could well hang around on Monday. 

If this forecast changes, we'll update you asap on our Facebook page.

  • 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.
