Looking for long-term Gran Canaria weather forecast?

Well, let’s be honest. On the one hand, weather forecasting models are not so precise and reliable in the long run, so it doesn’t make much sense to try to figure out what the weather will be like in the holiday week you’ll have here in 2 or 3 months …

On the other hand, we can tell you that, usually, in Gran Canaria it is (almost) always good weather!
