Lanzarote Climate

Lanzarote has a warm, pleasant climate throughout the year with annual average temperatures of around 22°C (78°F) and very little rainfall (averaging less than 16 days per year). December and January are the months when this rainfall is most likely to occur. The north of the island tends to be windier and more cloudy.

Occasionally temperatures can soar to 40°C (104°F) and above when the sirocco wind brings hot, dry and sandy air from the Sahara. This can last from a few hours to a week.
