Lanzarote is Welcoming Summer, but is it staying?

Lanzarote is Welcoming Summer, but is it staying?

Ada Vidodo

If your brain is already in summer in Lanzarote mode because it feels warm right now ... fair. This week in Arrecife weather we are seeing highs around 25-26°C, which is basically accidental July energy in February.

But here is the honest answer to the big question. Will it stay warm or will it get cooler again before summer? It does cool down again in early March before the real steady warm season builds.

The actual temperatures. Based on Arrecife weather.

  • February 22rd till 24th : 25-26°C 

  • Februray 25th till March 3rd: 22-24°C

  • March 4th: about 20°C

So yes, Lanzarote's weather this week feels warm, but it is not a straight line into summer. Think false summer weekend, then back to normal spring. If you are planning things to do in Lanzarote in February or early March, this is great cause you get warmth without peak summer crowds.

Quick answers tourist Google: If you are wondering is Lanzarote hot in February? It can feel surprisingly warm on sunny days during a warm spell, but evenings still cool down. People also often ask what is the warmest month in Lanzarote? That is typically later in summer, not February. Is Lanzarote windy in February is a real question because the trade winds are part of the island's personality. 

If you are planning a trip to Lanzarote in March, expect comfortable spring weather that is often perfect for exploring without melting.

Calima, what it is and why your photos suddenly look beige

Calima Lanzarote is airborne Saharan dust. It can make the sky hazy, reduce visibility and turn sunsets into a dramatic orange filter you did not order. When there is a dust warning Lanzarote moment, it is usually more haze and warm air than stay inside forever.

What happens to the green Lanzarote?

People love green in February because it is rare and pretty, winter rain brings a short season where the island looks softer and comes alive. Here is the simple truth: the green does not disappear overnight, but as spring warms up and the wind picks up, landscapes dry out

faster. A calima episode does not kill the green; it is the longer combo of less rain and more sun and wind that shifts Lanzarote back towards its classic golden volcanic look.

Lanzarote vs Fuerteventura: Which Should You Visit?
Lanzarote and Fuerteventura get lumped together a lot. Same sun, same archipelago, roughly the same flight time from the UK. But land on both and you’ll realise they’re about as similar as a volcano and a sand dune. Which, now I think about it, is exactly what this is.

Things to Do in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote
Puerto del Carmen gets a lot of stick, and honestly, at first glance you can see why. The Avenida de las Playas is a strip of cocktail bars and English pubs with laminated menus, and yes, there is a Wetherspoons. But it’s also the resort most people on Lanzarote end up in, and there’s a lot more going on here than the sunburn and the neon suggest.

Things to Do in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote
Playa Blanca is at the very bottom of Lanzarote, sitting quietly while the bigger resorts do their thing further north. It has a proper marina, three swimmable beaches, the ferry to Fuerteventura, and a promenade that goes all the way to a lighthouse. It’s more relaxed than anywhere else on the island, and that’s not a complaint.
