Weather in Fuerteventura

If you miss out on the chance to grab a summer holiday, you have no need to worry about the weather if you holiday on Fuerteventura.

Fuerteventura, an archipelago, is the most easterly Canary Island and lies in the Atlantic Ocean, only about 65 miles away from the coast of Africa. Like the other Canarian Islands, Fuerteventura was formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, evidence of which you can see today.

Its ideal location means that it benefits from good weather at any time of the year, so a winter holiday is a possibility as well as in the summer. The average winter temperature is around 20 degrees and in summer, excess of around 25.

Each part of the island has its own micro-climate, which means that the sun can shine on the East, but not on the West or vice versa. Sometimes, particularly in winter months you can experience rather a strong wind, even though temperatures are mild it will feel colder because of the wind.
