The climate of Puerto Rico (Canary
Islands / Spain)
Puerto Rico, literately meaning Rich Coast is the second seaside
resort in Gran Canaria after
Playa del Inglés. Because of its
situation on the leeward side large apartment complexes and hotels
were built here during the 1970s. Because of the steep coast of Puerto
Rico the resort is protected from the wind. Winds here are often very
calm. Because the wind mainly comes from the northeast it has hardly
any chance of reaching Puerto Rico. This is also why precipitation
figures here are lower than in Playa del Inglés and Costa Meloneras
which are both located in the vicinity. There is a large chance that
the weather is dry and sunny in Puerto Rico while at the same time it
rains in the Dunas de Maspalomas. However, families with children
often prefer Playa de Amadores to Puerto Rico because this beach has
been voted most suitable beach for children several times.

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:
