Climate

The climate in Lanzarote is perfect for the all year round holiday, never too hot in summer and very rarley too cold in winter. There is a constant breeze which helps to keep you cool; But be careful as the high UV will burn without you realising.

The Canaries form an archipelago of seven main islands, situated in about latitude 28°N, some 100 km/60 miles off the coast of North Africa. The Island of Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands, 37 miles (60km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide, making it the fourth largest island in the Canaries.

Lanzarote enjoys a mild dry climate with average daytime temperatures ranging from about 21°C in January to 29°C in August. Annual rainfall is just 140mm (5.5 inches). This makes Lanzarote the perfect year-round destination.

The waters of the Atlantic Ocean here are tempered by the Canaries current, hence summer temperatures rarely rise very high, whilst winters are extremely mild. The ambient air temperature is tempered by the trade winds and you should be particularly careful not to be deceived by the fact that the sun is very powerful all year round.
