Weather in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in July

Prime time. July is about as good as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria gets. Wind averages 26.5 km/h, which is the detail that ruins otherwise fine days on the water.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria barely has seasons. July scores 100 out of 100 against a best of 100 in June — a gap small enough that the month you choose matters far less here than the week you choose.

Rain is not a factor worth planning around this month. Windproof beats warm this month, and anything on the water should be booked with a flexible date.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average July reaches 30 °C; the day barely swings — 2.4 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 27.2 °C and the coldest night fell to 18.5 °C.

July is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest July on record still only managed 5 mm, and the driest managed 0 mm. There is no meaningful variability to plan around, which makes this one of the few months anywhere that you can build a fixed outdoor itinerary against without a fallback. The wettest single day in twenty years of Julys brought 2 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.

Wind averages 26.5 km/h, which is enough to make 23.1 °C feel colder than it reads and to put boat trips at the mercy of the morning forecast, and humidity runs at 84%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 22.2 °C in June, 23.1 here, 24 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's year: 13.8 hours of daylight, losing 0.4 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 22.1 °C in July — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 23.9 °C in September and bottoms out at 18.8 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead. If the dates are flexible, October is the trade worth considering — 8 points weaker on weather, and materially quieter.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria versus nearby

If Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Funchal is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain. Agadir is the weaker option in July — 15.8 °C warmer, the same number of rain days.

So: July is effectively as good as it gets here — 0 points behind June, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
