Weather Overview for Lanzarote
Lanzarote enjoys high temperatures, low rainfall and endless
sunshine throughout the year. It is the westernmost
Lanzarote’s position, near to Western Sahara and
Summer, from
April till November, is hot and dry. The average high temperature climbs from
24°C in April to a peak of 29°C in August, getting back down to 24°C in
November. At the beginning and very end of the season nights cool down
pleasantly to around 17°C but the peak months generally stay around 20°C.
Luckily, sea breezes which blow freely across the island and low humidity ease
the heat. However, if the sirocco wind is blowing from the east, from Africa
and the
Rainfall is pretty much negligible throughout the season
though the fringes of the season might see the odd brief downpour. Generally,
clear skies are uninterrupted and Lanzarote sees long hours of sunshine. From
June till July is the sunniest period. Sea temperatures climb up the low 20s to
a peak of 23°C in September and October.
Winter, from December till March, is warm with cool nights. The average high temperature drops to around 21°C for most of the season, creeping up to 23°C in March. Night time lows fall to 16°C in December, 14°C in January and 13°C in February, getting back up to 15°C in March. Daytime temperatures in the low 20s will be preferable to the summer highs for many and the cool nights can come as a relief. Again, if the sirocco wind blows temperatures can be send into the high 20s and sandstorms can develop, but this is more likely in the summer.
Rainfall does increase in this season but storms are only expected on around five days in each month and they do not tend to last for very long. This can cause flash flooding but the inconvenience caused is usually short-lived. These brief bursts of rain leave plenty of time for sunshine and most days see at least seven hours . The sea temperature drops to its coolest from February till April, but at 18°C is still just warm enough for swimming. People may find that smaller bodies of water, hotel swimming pools for example, do not have time to heat up in the day after the cool nights.
Lanzarote is actually much cooler than one might expect
given its latitude which it shares with the
