Hasn't voted | Sorry to say but on Gran Canaria you need no timing with the mist. It's almost always there somewhere. But thanx for the vote! Gangolf | |

Hasn't voted | Hi Jon, yes the climate is perfect in the Canarias. I just looked it up average day temperatures are between 21 and 25° centigrade the whole year round (70° - 78° F) and even water temperatures are between 18° and 23° C (65 - 74°F). The travel guides tell you about up to five days of snow per year, all while talking of the highest peak Pico de las Nieves (which translates Snow Peak). But this peak is situated exactly on the weather divide and thus gets MUCH more rain and humidity than Roque Bentayga, which is situated in the center of the caldera. I have experienced something similar in King's Canyon in California: rainclouds closing in on the valley but never able to cover it. I suppose that the reason is the chimney effect within the valley. As long as the sun shines and heats the valley floor you have a stream of hot air ascending out of the valley. And the clouds are stopped at the edges. But this is the physicist in me that's speaking... Gangolf | |
