Remember:
The climate in the Canary Islands in december is perfect across the board.
The climate throughout December in the Canary Islands is characterized by a marked increase in precipitation, compared with the intensity and frequency of rains of the preceding months. In fact, December is the wettest month of the year. However, rainfall remains relatively rare, as rainy days do not exceed six for the whole territory, they are still insufficient and will not hinder vacationers in their moment of relaxation.
The Eastern Islands in December
More exposed to the influence of the dry and warm wind coming in from the Sahara, the eastern islands as well as Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, are drier compared to the other islands of the archipelago. The rains are therefore weak and sporadic. This means that even during the cold season, which is normally accompanied by heavy rainfall, the rains have little effect on the weather in the Canary Islands throughout December, which remains favorable throughout the month - especially since the heat is always pleasant.
Gran Canaria in December
Temperatures in Gran Canaria freshen during the month of December. However, the climate remains favorable because temperatures still allow a feeling of freshness, while the rains, even though they have increased slightly, remain episodic. This favors a sunny weather, most of the time. The island of Gran Canaria allows to enjoy even better climatic conditions to spend Christmas under acceptable weather conditions.
The Western Islands in December
The western islands, due to their geographical situation, are more influenced by the Alizes and by the wind blowing in from the Atlantic. The rains are therefore more intense and more frequent compared to those of the other islands. Thus, La Gomera like La Palma, count a lot of showers that can occur at any time of the day. Tenerife and El Hierro are experiencing sporadic rains that are spread over 6 days in the month. However, the weather throughout December in the Canary Islands remains favorable.
