Lanzarote stays warm and mostly dry year‑round, with daytime highs in the low 20s °C even in winter. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions for the island’s south‑east coast, where resorts such as Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca sit sheltered from the trade winds.
What is the weather like in Lanzarote by month?
Lanzarote’s climate is arid and sunny. Summer (June–September) brings highs of 29 °C, calm seas and virtually no rain. Winter (December–February) sees daytime temperatures around 21 °C, cooler evenings and a slight chance of short showers. Spring and autumn are pleasantly warm, with sea breezes making Gran Canaria and Lanzarote popular for late‑season holidays. Rain is scarce – the wettest month, December, averages only 25 mm.
Will I need a jacket in Lanzarote in December?
Evening temperatures in Lanzarote in December drop to about 15 °C, so a light jacket or jumper is useful after sunset. Days are still warm enough for the beach, especially in resorts like Playa Blanca. The sea stays around 20 °C, so swimming is possible with a short‑sleeve wetsuit or a brisk dip. For anyone checking lanzarote weather 14 days or lanzarote weather 15 days ahead, December usually offers long spells of sunshine interrupted only by occasional cloudy patches.
Is Lanzarote windy all year?
Yes, the island feels a steady north‑east trade wind, especially on the east coast. Resorts like Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca are more sheltered, while the north and west can be noticeably breezy. Wind‑surfers and kitesurfers seek out the gusts; sunbathers pick leeward spots.
Does Lanzarote have good weather for a winter holiday?
Absolutely. With daytime highs around 21 °C in January and low rainfall, Lanzarote is a reliable winter sun destination. The island’s volcanic landscape retains heat, and the 10‑day forecast often shows clear skies. It’s a solid choice for a warm break without the humidity of the tropics.
