Lanzarote Weather & Climate
Frequently called 'Islands of Eternal Spring', the Canary Islands have warm and sunny weather all year round, with temperatures rarely under 16ºC (61ºF) in winter and 25ºC (77ºF) in summer, influenced by their closeness to Northern Africa, which applies especially to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
Lanzarote lies within a zone of hot and dry climate, where rain is very rare, resulting in a semi-desert climate. Unlike most of the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote features no high mountains (the highest being around 670 metres - 2,198 ft), which means that it is lacking the natural barrier, the so-called 'sea of clouds', normally responsible for creating rain conditions, lower evaporation and a reasonable humidity level.
On an average there are no more than 16 days of rainfall annually - and these can usually be experienced during the months December to February!
Lanzarote's climate can vary depending on where you are - even so it has the most consistent climate of all the islands of the archipelago, which makes it a favourite winter holiday destination for northern Europeans. The north of the island is usually windier and cloudier and has a little more rain due to the moist trade winds blowing generally from the north. The southern part is drier and hotter and enjoys as much as 2500 sunshine hours annually. Central Lanzarote, located between the windier north and the sunnier south, can be said to have the most moderate climate on the island.
Lanzarote suffers the warmest days of the year in summer when the hot sirocco wind - a phenomenon referred to by the locals as kalima or Tiempo Africano (African weather) - is prevailing. This hot, dry air from the Sahara desert, laden with fine dust, makes everybody feel very uncomfortable

Playa Blanca Area
|
|
Mirador del Rio (El Rio Belvedere)
Breathtaking views from this most northerly point of the Famara Cliffs overlooking La Graciosa Isle and three tiny islets out to sea, as well as the multi-coloured salt ponds directly below on the seashore. The uninterrupted vista can be enjoyed from an indoor snack bar or an outdoor observation terrace.
Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains, Timanfaya National Park)
This area resulted from six years of intermittent volcanic eruptions from 1730 to 1736. A camel ride round the rim of an extinct cone, a restaurant where food can be observed cooking from the heat of the volcano below, and a guided coach tour with multi-lingual commentary, through scenery unchanged since the eruptions, allows visitors a clear picture of the staggering natural catastrophe that took place.
Casa Museo y Monumento al Campesino (House and Monument to the Farm Labourer)
The farm house museum - which contains a retaurant serving local cuisine - and monument were built as a tribute to the Lanzarote farmer. Nearby, artisans produce local arts and crafts in workshops adjoining a typical Lanzarote wine bodega. A second restaurant also opens for dinner with folklore music several nights a week.
Castillo de San Jose (International Contemporary Art Museum)
Built as a fortress in 1799 to protect the harbour from pirate attacks, the interior was converted in 1974 to house a permanent exhibition of modern art in the upper halls and stairwell. On the lower level a first class restaurant with floor-to-ceiling wrap around windows, overlooking the harbour, serves excellent local and international cuisine.
Cueva de los Verdes (The Greens' Cave)
Named after owners called Green and for colour in the roofs and walls, the Caves form a representative section of the seven kilometre long Atlantida volcanic tunnel, the longest volcanic tunnel in the world. A guided tour leaves hourly on the hour - watch out for a truly amazing optical illusion. This was a cave used by the inhabitants of Lanzarote in times of trouble.
Jameos del Agua (Water Grotto) (image)
A grotto formed when a stream of molten lava met the nearby waters of the Atlantic, the Grotto contains an underground lake with an albino crab unique in the sea world at this depth, an outdoor pool area abounding with lush sub-tropical vegetation and a concert hall located amid an underground volcanic cavern. Volcanic history is depicted in the upper level. Breathtaking by day - folklore entertainment with buffet dinner three nights a week.
Jardin del Cactus (The Cactus Garden)
Situated in Guatiza village on the north east coast, the Cactus Garden is home to over 10,000 cacti and succulents of 1,450 different species growing in beds at ground level and in several levels of terracing. This area is the centre of Lanzarote's cochineal industry with several hundered acres planted with the prickly pear (or, 'tuneracactus') from which the cochineal beetle is collected for it's dye.
