Gentle sea breezes keep the island from being too hot and extreme temperatures are rare.During the winter months, December to February, average temperatures range between 59°F (15°C) and 72°F (22°C). In the peak summer months, from June to August, average temperatures range between 68°F (20°C) and 82°F (28°C).Rainfall in the summer months is almost non-existent, but showers are possible between October and April. Over the winter months, travellers will need a sweater and light trousers for evenings and possibly the odd rare cloudy day. Any other time of year, visitors will only need the bare essentials such as shorts and T-shirts.Occasionally, sand-laden winds blow across Fuerteventura from the Sahara and can cause a rise in temperature and poor visibility. The best and most popular time to visit Fuerteventura is between May and September, but the mild climate makes the island a wonderful holiday destination all year.
