Plan around a daily high of 21–24°C and lows of 15–17°C for the next week, with mostly clear skies and a light breeze. The live forecast above shows the current conditions, so use it to check any afternoon cloud or wind shifts before heading out.
What is the typical weather pattern for Lanzarote?
Lanzarote sits close to the Sahara, so expect stable, dry weather for most of the year. Average highs range from 21°C in January to 29°C in August. Trade winds keep humidity low, meaning even summer heat feels comfortable. Rainfall is scarce – December and January see the most, but still only around 25mm per month.
Is the 14‑day forecast reliable for Lanzarote?
A 14‑day forecast gives a useful trend – usually consistent temperatures and low rain chance – but day‑to‑day details beyond 7 days can shift. For your holiday planning, check the live forecast above up to 7 days out, then revisit closer to travel. The 10‑day and 15‑day outlooks are also helpful for seeing general wind patterns.
What is the weather like in Lanzarote at Christmas?
Lanzarote weather in December is mild and sunny: highs around 21°C, lows near 15°C. Rain is possible but usually brief. Sea temperatures hover at 19°C, so swimming is still pleasant with a wetsuit or on warmer days.
How hot is Lanzarote in summer?
July and August see daily highs of 28–29°C, sometimes touching 32°C in a heatwave. The trade winds keep the air dry, making it feel less oppressive than humid destinations. Nights stay around 21°C.
Which part of Lanzarote has the best weather?
Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen enjoy very similar conditions – both benefit from south‑facing coasts that are slightly warmer and less windy than the north. The east coast (including Costa Teguise) gets more breeze, which can feel refreshing in summer.
