You can find a daily weather forecast for Lanzarote during the weekdays on our Facebook page LanzaroteInformation.
It rained! We just couldn’t believe it when it rained in Lanzarote during May, and not just any day it poured down for the start of Ironman, leaving a soggy crowd of spectators on the beach cheering the athletes swimming under a beautiful rainbow. It’s been an OK month regarding the weather, we’ve had hours of sunshine everyday but generally with either a cloudy start or with cloudy intervals.
