As for the winds of Lanzarote, it is necessary to dedicate a few more lines to know its characteristics and particularities. We’ll tell you!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Lanzarote it is not possible to establish an estimate of the winds as it happens in other islands of the archipelago. Having a<\/span> fairly flat but mountainous relief with an elevation above 500 meters, different thermal floors can be found on the island.<\/b><\/p>\n In general, Lanzarote has a fairly uniform temperature and humidity rate throughout the year. As for the<\/span> winds, those that are from the northeast or the north predominate.<\/b>\u00a0 They are usually mild during autumn and winter, but their strength increases considerably in spring and summer. In fact, it is precisely in these two seasons when the so-called <\/span>“trade winds” enter, one of the most popular and characteristic winds of the island of Lanzarote.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n However, despite the fact that the trade winds are the best known, there is a wide variety of types of winds in Lanzarote:<\/span><\/p>\n The presence of these two different layers of air causes there to be a warm layer on top of a colder one, thus preventing the development of clouds and generating upward movements of air that produce small clusters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The wind in Lanzarote is changing and even sometimes unpredictable. However, in general,<\/span> the southern part of the island is usually less windy than the north <\/b>due to the direction of the trade winds and the mountains that act as a shield against the southern zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Forthis reason, <\/span>in the southern area are located precisely some of the most touristic points of the island<\/b> (such as Playa Blanca).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you want to organize your holidays well and control how the weather will be during those days, <\/span>it is best to get all the information about which are the areas that are normally less hit by the winds.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n In addition, today there are multiple applications and websites that gather specific indexes with which to find out the weather conditions in Lanzarote in different parts of the island.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wind, to a large extent, depends on the topography of the area and other factors that can influence its speed, direction, and warmth. In addition, in Lanzarote<\/span> the wind suffers variations in speed according to the season of the year.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n In general,<\/span> the windiest time of the year is usually from the end of May to the beginning of September<\/b>, in which it can reach a speed of more than 23 kilometers per hour. July is usually the month where the wind speed is usually higher in Lanzarote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the contrary, <\/span>the calmest time in terms of winds is usually from the beginning of September to mid-May.<\/b>\u00a0 The month with the least wind in Lanzarote is usually October.\u00a0<\/span> \nWhat types of winds are there in Lanzarote and what are they called?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
