Hi Andrew 

Welcome on board to the no. 1 Fuerteventura forum. As Sam says expect temperatures in 24’C, I would even say they could be higher up to 26’C from past experience.

I hope you enjoy your holidays in May.

I flew home today after 10 days on the island.  I have to say it's been the worst Weather I've ever experienced in April, and I don't think I'll come again in April.  I had 3 nights in the south to start with, where I got rained off the beach 2 days running.  Then moved up to Corralejo, which was predominantly cloudy and with a bitterly cold northerly wind.  Had to put the heating on in the apartment in the evenings!




May 02, 2018, 12:26:05 am

Tindaya and Corralejo - a grey start but the cloud soon broke up. Still the very cold, strong northerly winds.

Tindaya - a gorgeous day! Wind dropped to a light breeze, N or NW, although still a bit of a chill to it. However the sun seemed warmer than of late so a very nice day all round. So nice I got the buggy out and went down to the coast for a couple of hours this afternoon. (Several jellyfish washed up.) Almost total cloud cover moved in from the NW by sunset.

Tindaya - some strange clouds first thing this morning with little breeze. Cloud mainly cleared giving a bright, sunny day but the breeze picked up again, became quite blustery and was chilly at times. Plenty of cloud reappeared later in the day.
