Taurito weather by month
June, July and August are Taurito's strongest months for a sunshine-led holiday, with average daytime temperatures rising from 24°C to 28°C. The catch is that the sea reaches its warmest later, holding at 23°C through September and October. Choose summer for dry days and long sunshine hours, early autumn for warmer swimming without the highest daytime temperatures, or winter for mild afternoons rather than dependable beach heat.
The climate here is within a degree of Gran Canaria, so if you are choosing between the two, the weather will not decide it for you.

Winter and spring: mild days, cooler swimming
December, January and February suit travellers who prefer mild afternoons to summer heat. January and February average 20°C by day, but nights around 16°C make a jumper useful for sitting outside. December has the most rain days, so leave room to move outdoor plans around rather than expecting uninterrupted sunshine. March and April bring a gradual improvement in daytime warmth and sunshine, though the sea stays at 19°C from February through April. That is the main catch for keen swimmers: warmer air does not immediately mean warmer water. May feels more like a beach-holiday option, with days at 23°C, warmer evenings and just 1 rain day on average. Pack layers for winter and early spring, then lighter clothing as May approaches.
Summer: the strongest choice for sunshine
June offers a gentler start to summer, averaging 24°C by day and 19°C at night. It suits travellers who want plenty of sunshine without choosing the hottest part of the year. July brings the longest sunshine average at 13 hours daily, while August is the hottest month, with daytime averages of 28°C. Both months average 0 rain days, making them the clearest choices for weather-led outdoor plans, though that is not a guarantee of rain-free days. Keep shade breaks in mind around midday and pack light clothes for evenings. Swimming becomes more appealing as the sea warms from 21°C in June to 23°C in August.
Autumn: warm water, gradually less sunshine
September is a strong alternative to peak summer if swimming matters more than maximum sunshine. Days average 26°C, nights remain at 21°C and the sea holds at 23°C. October keeps that sea temperature while daytime averages ease to 25°C, so it still suits a holiday centred on time outside and in the water. The trade-off is a rise to 3 rain days and a shorter sunshine average of 7 hours. November remains mild at 23°C by day, with the sea at 22°C, but sunshine falls further. Choose early autumn for a closer match to summer conditions; later autumn suits travellers happy to accept less sun in return for gentler daytime warmth.
