Is Lanzarote windy in April?

Paul I was unfortunate enough to experience quite unusual weather in Lanzarote during April. It was very windy, which took the edge off the temperatures. There was also a lot of rain.

10th February 2022 by The Travel Expert

With year round sunshine, glorious sandy beaches, family friendly facilities, and duty-free status, it is no surprise that family holidays in Lanzarote are highly sought after. Another plus is that most properties are only two or three stories high, due to Lanzarote’s building laws that prohibit high rise blocks.
