How do you fancy eating Christmas dinner on the beach and spending New Year al fresco at a bar? You can easily do that here in Gran Canaria because, even though December is cooler than the summer months, you can still expect daytime temperatures between 19ºC and 26ºC, like in November or January. A white [...]

November is slightly cooler than October but you can see packed beaches every month in Gran Canaria so it is hardly ‘cold’! Daytime temperatures range from 20ºC to 26ºC in November. You might get a couple of overcast days or a little rain or you might not. Spending a week in the winter sun can [...]

October is warm and approaching the end of what we residents call summer. I know it is hot all year in Gran Canaria but we do like to define some kind of seasons! The day temperatures in October can range from 20ºC to 30ºC and almost every day is sunny. The evenings might be 18ºC [...]

September is slightly cooler than August but still hot – over 25ºC anyway! It is quite a busy month, tourist-wise, and you are still pretty much guaranteed clear skies and constant sun. The evenings are still warm in September and the nights are pleasantly cool. There is a small chance of a rainy day if [...]

August is the hottest month of the year. If you want it slightly cooler (but not much!) try July or September. Temperatures range from 25º to 40ºC in the daytime and every day is hot and sunny. August is also the busiest month for tourists so if you like it more quiet, you might prefer [...]

The sun doesn’t set until about 10.30pm in July so be prepared for long, hazy days. July can have temperatures of up to 38ºC so make sure you bring plenty of sun cream. (It’s cheaper bringing it from home!) As a Gran Canarian resident, I do see ‘lobsters’ walking around in July (and even more [...]

The temperatures in June can range from 20ºC to 35ºC so if you plan to come in the summer, you’d better like it hot! The Atlantic is about 10ºC colder than the Med so you can have a refreshing dip if you get too warm. The sun is up until about 9pm in June so [...]
May Weather

May is a great time to visit. Most tourists tend to come in July and August so it is still relatively quiet. You are practically guaranteed long, sunny days every day of your holiday in May. If you do get one overcast day, this is rare, but there are plenty of other things to do, [...]

April is the start of our summer season. Although the weather is warm all year, the summer is hot hot hot! If you are coming over between April and October, bring some Factor 15 at least! It is still possible to get rain in the summer but it’s unlikely. April is a month of hot [...]
March

March is slightly warmer than February and the sun rises earlier and sets later. There is something really magical about enjoying a sangria whilst watching the sun set over the dunes of Maspalomas! You will probably still need a lightweight jacket if you plan to go out in the evenings. The temperature drops to about [...]
