Gran Canaria weather October
Average High and Low Temperature in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
As the calendar turns to October, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers a delightful respite from the onset of fall elsewhere, with its inviting climate and lingering warmth.
Average High and Low Temperature in October: The island's embrace remains warm with average high temperatures cozying up to around 26°C. It's like a gentle reminder of the fading summer. At night, a light jacket might be just right as the average lows edge down to a mild 21°C, making evenings pleasant for all your nocturnal escapades.
Rainfall: October can see a bit of a shift as the rainy season gently begins. The month may bring a few more cloudy days, with occasional showers sprinkled here and there. On average, you might find a bit of rain, but it's typically light and short-lived, certainly not enough to dampen the holiday spirits.
Sun: Sunshine is still plentiful, even as the days get a tad shorter. You can expect around 7 hours of sun per day — more than enough to enjoy a coffee by the seaside or take a leisurely walk along the beautiful city streets.
Humidity: The humidity in October hovers around the 65% mark, struck by the perfect balance between the warm temperatures and the fresh ocean breeze. This makes for a very comfortable experience as you tour around the island.
Wind: Winds maintain a gentle pace with average speeds of about 15 to 25 km/h (9 to 15 mph). This soft breeze is ideal for kite flying on the beach or simply cooling off after a day under the sun.
Water Temperature: The Atlantic holds onto the heat well into October, with water temperatures still around 23°C. It's inviting and utterly perfect for a swim, snorkeling, or perhaps even learning to surf in the island's temperate waters.
Packing for October? Daytime light layers and an extra piece for the evenings should do the trick. Don't forget your swim attire; the water's just right for a dive in. With a touch of autumn chill in the air and the warmth of the ocean still at your fingertips, Las Palmas provides a unique and enjoyable experience that bridges the seasons beautifully. Enjoy!
