Gran Canaria weather month by month


Curious about what kind of weather you'll find in Gran Canaria each month? Let's take a peek together at the sunny personality of this gorgeous island, all year round!

Gran Canaria - the island off eternal spring


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.


Autumn (September - November)

  • Continuation of warm weather from summer, but starting to cool slightly.
  • Temperatures generally range from the low 20s to the mid-30s Celsius (around 68-86°F).
  • Less busy than the peak summer season, offering a nice balance of good weather and fewer tourists.

Winter (December - February)

  • Considered the coldest months, but still very mild compared to Europe and North America's winter weather.
  • Daytime temperatures range from the high teens to the mid-20s Celsius (around 64-77°F).
  • Nights can be cooler, but temperatures rarely drop below 14°C (57°F).
  • Occasional rain showers can occur, but they are usually short-lived.

Spring (March - May)

  • Similar to autumn, with gradually warming temperatures.
  • The temperatures typically vary from the high teens to the low 30s Celsius (around 64-86°F).
  • Spring is a lovely time to visit due to the blooming flora and comfortable weather.

It's important to note that the island has microclimates, meaning that the weather can vary greatly depending on where you are on the island. The south tends to be drier and warmer, while the north can be slightly cooler and more lush.
