The Gran Canaria climate is part of the islands attraction. Long sunny days, gentle cooling breezes and hot, sultry sun casting its rays on the glittering beaches. Expect summer temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius and even in winter months, Gran Canaria feels like springtime, ensuring the appeal remains year round.
