Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa, is blessed with a mild and agreeable climate year-round, often referred to as "eternal spring." The island enjoys an enviable climate with long days of sunshine and consistently mild temperatures due to its position in the Atlantic Ocean, not far from the Sahara Desert.

Here's a general overview of what you can expect from the weather in Gran Canaria:

Summer (June - August)

• Hot and dry conditions, particularly in the south of the island.

• Temperatures range from the mid-20s to the mid-30s Celsius (around 77-95°F).

• Northern parts may have more cloud cover and slightly cooler temperatures due to the trade winds.

• The evenings are usually warm, making it comfortable to stay out late.

When planning a trip to Gran Canaria, it's a good idea to check the current weather forecast and pack accordingly since the island's terrain and climate can offer different experiences, even during the same season.
