Dry and rainy seasons in Gran Canaria

Now, when it comes to the dry and rainy seasons, Gran Canaria's got a bit of a split personality, all thanks to its mountains. Most of the time, you'll enjoy the drier side of things, especially if you're kicking back in the southern resorts where the sun's nearly always on the guest list.

The north of the island, though? That's where you'll find a few more clouds gatecrashing the party, and they do bring a bit of rain from time to time, especially between October and April. But hey, when we say 'rainy season', it's more like an occasional sprinkle that keeps the scenery lush – nothing that would put a damper on your holiday spirit!

So, in a nutshell: dry and sunny is the theme in the south, with a sprinkle of showers up north just to green things up. No matter where you roam on the island, you're in for some fabulous weather. Pack your sunglasses and maybe a brolly (just in case), and you're all set.

Enjoy your trip to Gran Canaria – it's bound to be a fantastic one, come rain or shine!
