autonomous region of the Canary Islands. Las Palmas offers a mixture
of living, working and tourism. Las Palmas port is an important
container port used for import on Gran Canaria. The port is also used
as a transition port for shipments to the African continent and South
America. Because of constantly stable temperatures Las Palmas is very
popular as a winter sun destination. This is because Las Palmas has a

blowing trade wind summers are very pleasant. Because the beaches of
Las Palmas are situated on the leeward side in the northwestern part
of the island the trade winds have little influence here.

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:
