Lanzarote has no pronounced climate zones. It is the island with the lowest relief, and clouds often just pass over it. Rain is very rare on Lanzarote.
In general, Lanzarote has a slightly cooler climate than the western islands. This is where the northeast trade winds come in, which determines the weather in the archipelago. The north coast is the windiest, while the volcanoes in the central part of the island act as a shield to protect the southern resort areas.
And in summer, the moderately fresh breeze comes in handy on an island virtually devoid of vegetation. And by September the wind disappears, the ocean warms to its maximum, and Lanzarote is at its best.
