The climate of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands / Spain)
Fuerteventura is the sunniest of the Canary Islands. The constant north northeasterly wind causes temperatures to remain pleasant. Fuerteventura literally means ‘Fierce wind’. Precipitation figures are extremely low here. Because of this fresh water has to be imported from Gran Canaria or Tenerife. On average the island only gets 150-200 millimeters of annual precipitation. During the summer (from June till October) chances of rain are small. When it does rain during this period the amount of rain is small. From November chances of precipitation increase. Chances of a day with heavy showers also increase. Despite the fact that winters are cooler the sun still shines a lot. During the darkest months the sun still shines for 6-7 hours per day on average. This means there is still more sunshine here than in the Netherlands, Germany or England during the summer. The guaranteed sunshine in combination with the fact that things hardly ever get muggy on Fuerteventura make this a very popular beach destination.

Heat
During the summer it may get extremely warm on Fuerteventure when an easterly wind supplies warm air from the Sahara. Chances of this happening are not too high, though. However, when this phenomenon occurs temperatures may rise up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). This in combination with the supply of desert sand may cause things to feel unpleasant.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
