What’s the weather like in Lanzarote today and this week?
The live forecast above gives the most accurate view for the next few days. Daytime temperatures typically range from 20–24°C in winter (December–February) and 27–30°C in summer (July–September). Winds from the north-east (the alisios) keep humidity low and skies mostly clear. For a longer outlook, check the 10-day weather forecast for the Canaries or the lanzarote weather 14 days page.
How does the weather vary by month and area?
Lanzarote’s climate is subtropical desert, so rainfall is scarce (only 10–15 days of rain per year). The south-east coast – including Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca – tends to be slightly warmer and less windy than the north. For a month-by-month breakdown, see lanzarote weather by month. If you’re planning a trip, the lanzarote weather 30 days outlook can help with longer-term planning.
Is Lanzarote warm enough for a beach holiday in December?
Yes. December averages 21°C daytime high, with sea temperatures around 20°C. You’ll need a light jacket for evenings, but daytime sunbathing is comfortable – especially in Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.
How accurate are 15-day and 30-day forecasts for Lanzarote?
Beyond 7–10 days, confidence drops. The lanzarote weather 15 days gives a general trend, but the live forecast above is most reliable for the next few days. For month-ahead planning, look at historical averages instead.
Does it ever rain in Lanzarote?
Rarely. Most rain falls between November and February, with brief showers. Even in those months you can expect plenty of sunshine. The rest of the year is almost completely dry.
