Lanzarote Weather Summary

Lanzarote is the most northerly of all the Canary Islands, making it the nearest one to the UK. The island sits approximately 130 kilometres off the coast of southern Morocco to the north of Fuerteventura. It is well known for its black lava sands and fine dry weather.

Generally the weather is sunny. In every month except December more than 60% of daylight hours have bright sunshine - that's at least 7 hours a day - and average temperatures range from a night-time minimum of 12°C in January to a daytime maximum of 27°C at the height of summer. There is little chance of rain; in this part of the Atlantic Ocean the nearer you are to Africa and the Sahara Desert the less rain there is. In Lanzarote there is only one month (January) when more than 25mm (1 inch) of rain usually falls, and from April to November there is hardly any, so the landscape everywhere is pretty arid.

But unlike in the Sahara Desert the surrounding sea aided by a pretty constant breeze from the north-east helps to cool the air, so even in summer it never becomes unbearably hot. From July to September daytime temperatures do rise above 30°C but the average high is still only 27°C. UV levels in summer however are extreme, so every precaution should be taken against sunburn.

In winter it is quite a bit cooler especially from the beginning of December to the end of March, but still there is plenty of sunshine. At sea level there is never a ground frost, temperatures rarely fall below 10°C at night and will mostly hit 20°C during the day, which makes Lanzarote the nearest warm winter destination to the UK. From Birmingham the flight time is about 4 hours and 15 minutes, a good hour less than it takes to get to the Red Sea.

Lanzarote is popular as a summer destination when the trade winds provide a cooling breeze, but equally favoured in winter being the nearest destination to the UK with reasonably warm day-time temperatures between December and March.

What to Pack

From June to October light clothing is all that is required when travelling to Lanzarote. During the rest of the year and especially from December to March an extra layer is a must, especially since temperatures drop noticeably after the sun has set.
