Bad Weather in Gran Canaria

If you are wondering about the mid February weather in Gran Canaria you might be wishing you hadn’t! Right now we have rain, high winds and storms. There were eight metre waves crashing into Puerto Mogan yesterday (the harbour was damaged) and there is water cascading down the mountains. Sardina del Norte was also damaged by the storm and there was some snow in the mountains but it’s melted now.

Tenerife was without power for almost ten hours yesterday too, because of the weather. While this isn’t going to last forever, it’s been one of the rainiest weeks I can remember. It’s also wet in the south of Spain, if that makes you feel better!

The boat trips from Puerto Rico and Mogan are cancelled because of high waves and rough seas. The bars are open, of course, but when the weather is like this, there isn’t really that much to do apart from visit an indoor shopping centre or find a nice bar! I’ll keep you posted on the weather. Hopefully the sun will be back soon 🙂

    Also, the schools and university are closed because of the bad weather. Remember, the drainage system in the Canaries isn’t up to much and it’s common for the roads to turn into canals when it rains for more than an hour!!

    Hi Annie, that’s more than a week away but hopefully it will have settled by then! It’s actually unusual to have all the bad weather we’ve had here recently. Saying that though the temperature is not cold. It’s been above 20ºC every day – T shirt and shorts weather 🙂 I should think the weather will be nice when you’re here. March is usually really good and I’d be surprised if we get more rain now. We’ve had enough already!! 😎
