AEMET forecasts a week marked by instability in Gran Canaria, with rain, wind and rough seas, especially in the south, southeast and southwest, in an episode linked to the passage of Atlantic fronts after Storm Francis
According to the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET Canarias), Storm Francis, which has affected the start of 2026, continues its eastward movement towards the Iberian Peninsula, while the archipelago remains under the influence of an Atlantic pattern with successive lines of instability and fronts that may keep the weather unsettled for the next few days.
In the south, southeast, and southwest of Gran Canaria, the forecast for the week of Monday, January 5th to Sunday, January 11th, 2026, indicates variable skies with intermittent showers and possible periods of heavier rain, with westerly and northwesterly winds and moderate gusts that could intensify in exposed areas. On Three Kings' Day, Tuesday, January 6th, 2026, AEMET (the Spanish State Meteorological Agency) maintains the possibility of precipitation and unsettled weather, so it is recommended to plan outdoor activities in advance.
Along the coast, the situation may be accompanied by swells and significant waves, especially on open southern and southwestern coasts, with periods of rough seas. AEMET (the Spanish State Meteorological Agency) advises consulting daily updates and official warnings, as the evolution of these weather fronts may alter the intensity and distribution of rainfall.
