About CanaryForecast

CanaryForecast answers one question every Canary Islands visitor asks each morning: where is it sunny today? The islands' microclimates are extreme — the north of an island can sit under clouds while the south enjoys clear skies.

We track the official AEMET beach forecast for 80 monitored beaches across all 7 islands and rank the islands live by sunshine, several times a day. For every beach you get sky conditions for morning and afternoon, air and sea water temperature, UV index, wind and waves.

How we get our data

Live beach conditions come from the official AEMET beach forecast (the play_v2_ XML feed), refreshed around 09:30, 13:30 and 17:30 Canary time for all 80 monitored beaches across the 7 islands. Calima (Saharan dust) levels come from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) global forecast, and waves and sea temperature from the E.U. Copernicus Marine Service (IBI model). We cache every dataset locally and never call these services from your browser.

Daily and hour-by-hour forecasts for resorts, towns and beaches come from MET Norway (the Norwegian Meteorological Institute) under the CC BY 4.0 licence; CanaryForecast aggregates them into local days and calculates sunrise and sunset times itself. The official beach forecasts remain AEMET's.

The days after the MET Norway range (up to 14 days ahead) come from ECMWF IFS open data: © 2026 European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), www.ecmwf.int, published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. CanaryForecast aggregates them into local days, corrects the temperatures for altitude and aligns them to MET Norway on the overlapping days, so they are a modified, less certain longer-range trend. ECMWF does not accept any liability whatsoever for any error or omission in the data, their availability, or for any loss or damage arising from their use.
