Lanzarote temperature guide
Lanzarote's number one attraction is undoubtedly it's superb climate and numerous beaches which combine to make it a great holiday destination.
The island has over 300 days of sunshine per year, with low rainfall and a pleasant range of temperatures that make it mild in the winter without being unbearably hot in the summer. In 40BC, Pliny named these the "Fortunate Islands" - and he remains right to this day!
With such a mild climate, the pressure to take holidays in Lanzarote during the small peak season of July/August isn't as important as the traditional Spanish costas. Our chart shows how steady the temperatures remain throughout the year:
| Period | Average. temp. (°C) | Avg. sunshine per day (hours) |
|---|---|---|
| January | 17.0 | 7 |
| February | 17.5 | 8 |
| March | 18.5 | 8 |
| April | 19.0 | 8 |
| May | 20.2 | 9 |
| June | 21.9 | 11 |
| July | 23.8 | 10 |
| August | 24.7 | 11 |
| September | 24.4 | 8 |
| October | 22.5 | 7 |
| November | 20.3 | 6 |
| December | 18.1 | 7 |
Wise travellers with no kids know that going off peak is the smart choice, particularly in May/June. Accommodation prices are much cheaper in this period whilst the weather is glorious without ever being uncomfortable.
