Lanzarote island together with Fuerteventura lies further east than any of the other Canary Isles, just 70 miles from the north-west African coastline. This means the climate is very similar to that of northern Africa – dry and warm, with an average yearly rainfall of only about five to six inches. Given Lanzarote's close proximity to the North African mainland, any wind blowing from this direction results in dry, sunny weather conditions similar to those experienced on the African mainland. There's a cool ocean current known as the Canary Current that flows southward passed Lanzarote's eastern coastline.

Spring in Lanzarote (March - May) with April and May generally having much sunnier and warmer weather than March although there is much year-to-year variability. Daytime maximum temperatures reach 22°C in March and rise towards 24-25°C on most days by mid-May. As with Tenerife weather, summer (June - August) is you would expect is has the highest temperatures since the sun is almost directly overhead at midday given it's only 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of the Tropic of Cancer. Daytime temperatures rise to 26-27°C in June, 28°C in July and 29-30°C in August. Some days will be considerably hotter if winds change direction and blow directly in from North Africa. Such days may see temperatures rise into the low 40's°C.

Starting on October and until the arrival of spring, tourists are advised to wear light sweaters and trousers in the evenings i.e. although the day temperatures are about 22°C, which are ideals for sunbathing on the beaches; winter temperatures can fall as low as 13°C at night. For the rest of the year shorts and T-shirts are suggested. From time to time Lanzarote climate does experience higher than desirable temperature which is usually caused by warm air proceeding from the Sahara. This air,which is sometimes laden with sand, is called Calima by the islanders and normally only last for a few days at a time.
