Lanzarote is basking in warm, settled conditions today, with the live forecast above showing clear skies and highs in the low-to-mid 20s Celsius. The island’s position close to the African coast means it stays milder than much of the Canaries, making it a reliable winter sun choice from Southampton.
What is the weather like across Lanzarote right now?
According to the live forecast above, coastal spots such as Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca are seeing a steady breeze off the Atlantic, keeping humidity low. Inland areas, particularly around the Timanfaya National Park, are a degree or two warmer during the day but cool off quickly after sunset. The trade wind influence means you can expect plenty of sunshine, with only a slim chance of cloud building inland.
Looking ahead: Lanzarote weather for the next 10 to 15 days
The longer-range outlook for Lanzarote weather over the next 10 to 15 days suggests the high pressure will hold, with daytime temperatures staying in the low 20s. If you’re checking Lanzarote weather 14 days or Lanzarote weather 30 days out, remember that the Canaries are prone to the occasional calima – a dust haze from the Sahara – which can briefly raise temperatures but reduce visibility. December remains a popular month, with Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen offering the most stable sea conditions for swimming.
Is Lanzarote warmer than Tenerife in December?
Generally yes. Lanzarote sits further east, closer to the Sahara, giving it slightly higher daytime averages. Tenerife’s Mount Teide can pull in more cloud, whereas Lanzarote stays predominantly clear.
What is the best area for weather in Lanzarote?
The south coast – Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen – tends to be the sunniest and most sheltered from the trade winds. Costa Teguise is breezier but still very reliable for winter warmth.
Can I expect rain on a Lanzarote holiday?
Rain is rare, especially between November and March, averaging only about three days per month. Showers are typically short-lived and light, and many visits see none at all.
