When to go

From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.
Recommended

Year-round mild. South coast (Maspalomas dunes) for dependable sun, north (Las Palmas) for cloudier hikes. The calima dust events are real — book a south-coast hotel and you'll mostly miss them. Sea peaks at 23°C in late August.
