Gran Canaria in November

Gran Canaria's subtropical climate means you can visit year-round, but timing affects your experience. April through June offers the sweet spot — warm days around 25°C, minimal rain, and fewer crowds than summer. The trade winds keep things comfortable even as temperatures rise. September and October deliver similar conditions with the bonus of warm ocean temperatures from the summer heat. This is prime time for water activities and hiking before winter rains arrive. Winter months from December to March see more rain, especially in the north, but temperatures rarely drop below 15°C. The south stays sunnier while the mountains can get surprisingly cool. This is peak season for European visitors escaping cold winters, so expect higher prices and busier beaches. Summer brings intense heat to the south — often exceeding 30°C — and strong trade winds. The north stays more comfortable, making it perfect for exploring Las Palmas and hiking in the interior mountains.
