Fuerteventura

What’s the weather like in Fuerteventura in August?

Located just over 100km off the west coast of North Africa, Fuerteventura has warm weather all year round. August’s the hottest month of the year though and you'll have little to no rain.. Despite the Sahara Desert being so close, north easterly winds and the Canary Current will help keep you cool. The island’s protected from rain by Lanzarote which sits just to the north. This means Fuerteventura has less rain and more consistent weather around the island compared to the other Canary Islands, which are usually cooler and wetter in the north due to winds.
