THE WEATHER IN LANZAROTE

What is Lanzarote's best kept secret? Why is the island a consistently popular tourist destination year after fun filled year? How is a Lanzarote holiday possible any time of the year?

The answer is simple. Lanzarote's stable weather! Lanzarote is part of the Canary group of islands. Because of its unique location, the weather in Lanzarote is always pleasant the whole year round.
The Canary Islands are affected by two weather systems: the effect of the trade winds from the high pressure area of the Azores and the permanent warm airflow that the dominant winds carry in from the neighbour Sahara desert. Both influences maintain a stable balance that brings us this particularly marvellous climate with temperatures averaging 21ºC.

To plan that perfect trip, you can check the 5, 10 or 15 day forecast for Lanzarote in the internet weather websites.

Now that you know Lanzarote's secret, why not book your tickets today and enjoy your holiday in sunny Lanzarote?

Travel Smarts
What to wear Lanzarote?

Because most indoor establishments are air conditioned, you may need a lightweight jacket or long sleeves.

A folding umbrella is a handy relief from too much sun.

The strong trade winds may make ladies´ wraparound and billowing skirts a problem.

Good and comfortable shoes for excursions in the lava fields or for long shopping afternoons.
