Gran Canaria, Spain - Weather Forecast and Climate

Gran Canaria Climate

While Gran Canaria has a wonderful climate throughout the year, the south of the island (where the major resorts are located) enjoys its own microclimate with generally better weather than other parts of the island, although the sea breeze can be quite bracing.

The average temperature is comfortable all year round, rarely dropping below 17°C and more often above 82°F 28°C during the day. Rainfall in the summer months is almost non-existent, but showers are likely between October and April.

Inland the climate is still mild but mountains areas see the occasional frost or snow. Hot southeasterly winds from the Sahara can push temperatures above 38 °C (100 °F) on rare occasions, but these conditions don't normally last long.
