The best time to go to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is generally from May to October for warm, sunny weather superb for beach activities, and from November to April for a milder, pleasant escape from colder climates.
For travelers looking to enjoy the city's beaches and water sports, the months of May through October offer consistent sunshine and average temperatures ranging from 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C). This period is ideal for spending time at Las Canteras Beach, one of Europe's best city beaches, where you can swim, sunbathe, or try paddleboarding. The ocean is at its warmest, making it comfortable for extended dips.
If you prefer a milder climate for exploring the city's culture and historic sites without the intense summer heat, the shoulder seasons of May, June, September, and October are excellent. During these months, the weather is still very pleasant, with fewer crowds than the peak summer, allowing for a more relaxed experience visiting places like the historic Vegueta district or strolling along the waterfront promenades.
Travelers seeking a warm escape from winter in other parts of the world will find November through April particularly appealing. While temperatures are cooler, typically ranging from 68°F to 75°F (20°C to 24°C), the climate remains very comfortable for outdoor activities. This period is popular for walking tours of Vegueta, enjoying outdoor dining, and exploring the city's parks and gardens without the summer humidity.
