Rain is pretty much non-existent in June, July and August when temperatures reach the high twenties. Even though the island is hot, island breezes prevent humidity and help the temperature to drop a little once the sun goes down.

The cost of living in Lanzarote is much cheaper than in Glasgow. You can get a mid-range meal for two for around €37.00*, a bottle of beer for €3.10* and a cappuccino for €2.20*. Public transport is also considerably cheaper than in Glasgow.
