Sunny Lanzarote - The Island of Eternal Spring

The Island of Eternal Spring

CRAZY David

Let’s talk about the weather in Lanzarote

Situated in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of West Africa, Lanzarote is renowned for its stunning landscapes, volcanic terrain, and notably, its delightful climate. Often dubbed the "Island of Eternal Spring," Lanzarote boasts one of the best climates in the world — perfect for a holiday under the Canarian sun.

Always Nice and Warm

One of the most attractive aspects of Lanzarote's climate is its consistency. The island enjoys warm temperatures year-round, making it an ideal destination for those seeking sunshine and pleasant weather regardless of the season. During the summer months, temperatures typically range from 24°C to 29°C, providing perfect conditions for beach days, outdoor activities, and exploring the island's natural wonders.


Even in winter, Lanzarote remains comfortably mild, with temperatures rarely dropping below 15°C. This makes it a popular escape for visitors from colder climates seeking a reprieve from winter chills.

Plenty of Sunny Days

Sun lovers will be delighted: Lanzarote is bathed in sunshine for much of the year. With an average of approximately 320 days of sunshine annually, the island offers ample opportunity to soak up vitamin D and enjoy its golden beaches. But please remember to protect your skin from the high sun intensity. 🦀

Greetings From the Sahara: Calima is in the Air

Calima is a weather phenomenon that occasionally affects the Canary Islands, including Lanzarote. It involves a dust-laden wind that blows from the Sahara Desert across the Atlantic Ocean to the islands. As a result of the dust particles in the air, the sky often appears hazy or milky in appearance.


Such episodes typically last for a few days and may affect people sensitive to dust. While such conditions are less than ideal for outdoor activities, Calima is a natural phenomenon that is monitored and managed by local authorities to minimise its impact.

Unique Microclimates

Lanzarote's climate is shaped by its geographical location and the surrounding Atlantic Ocean. The island benefits from a distinctive microclimate resulting from the interplay between the warm Gulf Stream and the cool Canary Current. This interaction helps moderate temperatures and contributes to the island's relatively stable weather patterns.


This also means that there may be significant weather variations across different parts of the island. Fortunately, my team and I are well-acquainted with Lanzarote’s microclimates and can adapt island tours and activities accordingly.

It Never Rains in Lanzarote 🎶

Rainfall in Lanzarote is minimal compared to many other destinations, particularly within the Canary Islands. The island receives an average annual precipitation of just 140mm (5.5 inches), with most rainfall occurring between December and February. That’s when many parts of the island change from their usual volcanic brown and red tones to verdant green.

Perfect Conditions for Outdoor Activities

Whether you're a beach lover, a hiking enthusiast, a cyclist, or a water sports aficionado, Lanzarote's generally dry climate provides an excellent backdrop for a wide range of outdoor activities. From exploring volcanic landscapes to surfing on Atlantic waves, the island's weather offers the perfect setting for adventure and relaxation alike.
