Weather in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in September

Prime time. September is about as good as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria gets. Highs average 24.3 °C, lows 21.9 °C, and rain falls on 2 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria barely has seasons. September scores 97 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 falls on only 2 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

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 September 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 September day reached 27.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 20 °C.

September is moderately variable: 1 mm in the driest year against 16 mm in the wettest, around an average of 8 mm. Roughly two Septembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 18.8 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 80%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How September sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 24 °C in August, 24.3 here, 23.9 in October. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in September

12.4 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's extremes of 13.9 and 10.4 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 23.9 °C in September — comfortable for a proper swim. This is the warmest the water gets all year.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

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

September 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, 2 days more rain. Agadir is the weaker option in September — 9.7 °C warmer, the same number of rain days.

So: September is effectively as good as it gets here — 3 points behind June, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
