Lanzarote’s winter sun is reliable and mild, with daytime highs near 22°C in December and January, making it one of the warmest Canary Island options for a short-break escape. The live forecast above shows the current conditions for today.
What is the weather in Lanzarote like right now and for the next 10 to 15 days?
The island sits close to the Sahara, so expect mostly clear skies and steady temperatures. For a 10 day forecast, the pattern is consistent: highs around 22–24°C, lows near 16°C, with light northeasterly breezes. A 14 day outlook rarely shows dramatic shifts—clouds can drift in from the Atlantic but burn off by midday. Rainfall is scarce; December averages only 20mm across the month.
How does Lanzarote weather vary by month, and what about Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen?
Seasons are subtle. Month by month, summer (July–September) peaks at 29°C with calm seas; winter stays above 18°C. For Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen, expect identical conditions—both are south-facing and shielded from the trade winds. A 30 day or 15 day view shows no surprise: dry and settled.
Does Lanzarote weather ever get too cold for swimming?
Sea temperatures stay above 19°C even in January, so swimming is fine for most. A light windproof jacket helps for evening walks along the promenade at Puerto del Carmen.
Is the 10-day forecast for Lanzarote reliable?
Yes—the island’s stable subtropical climate means little variation. The live forecast above and the 10 day outlook are trustworthy for planning.
Which month has the best weather in Lanzarote?
April–June and October–November offer ideal balance: highs of 24–27°C, low humidity, and fewer crowds. December remains a solid choice for a winter break.
