What the climate is like
The weather in Maspalomas, Spain, is defined by its steadiness. Highs run from 23°C in the cooler months to 33°C in August, and lows sit between 15°C and 24°C. Rain is light and infrequent: no month records more than 33mm, and the busiest month for showers, November, has five rainy days. Our climate data does not include sea temperatures, so we cannot give you a figure for the water.
Eleven months make the best-months list; only August, the hottest, is left off, and there are no separate shoulder months because the conditions barely dip. That makes Maspalomas a straightforward booking at any time of year. On this page you can compare package deals, hotel prices, tours and tickets, and car hire for your dates, bearing in mind that school holidays generally push prices up.
Month by month through the year
Winter, from December to February, brings highs of 23°C and lows of 15°C to 17°C. January is the driest of the three, with 5mm of rain on a single day; February sees four rainy days. March warms to 25°C but is the wettest month by volume at 33mm, spread over four days. April, May and June settle at 25°C to 26°C, with three or four light-rain days each and nights rising to 20°C by June.
Summer is where the weather in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, turns properly hot. July reaches 31°C and August 33°C, with lows of 23°C and 24°C and no rain recorded in either month. September eases to 27°C with one rainy day, October is a warm 28°C with four, and November holds 27°C but brings the most rainy days of the year, five, totalling 29mm. For warmth without the August peak, June, September and October are a sensible middle ground.
What to pack by season
From December to March, pack summer clothes for the day plus a light jumper or jacket for evenings, when lows of 15°C to 17°C feel fresh after a day on Playa de las Mujeres or Playa del Hornillo. A thin waterproof is worth having in February, March and November, the months with four or five rainy days.
From July to September, think light, breathable layers, a hat and high-factor sun cream: highs of 31°C to 33°C call for shade in the middle of the day, so save the Maspalomas Botanical Garden or Palmitos Park for the morning. Comfortable shoes help for the walk out to Maspalomas Lighthouse and along to Meloneras in any season.
What to pack for Maspalomas in October
- Light clothes, a hat and high-factor sun cream: October highs average 28°C.
