The climate of Playa Blanca is influenced by its proximity to the Saharan coast, located barely 100 nautical miles away, and the fact that it falls within the powerful Azores anticyclone area. The continuous geological process of construction and erosion can be perceived in its gentle relief and flatlands. Annually, Yaiza receives a remarkable amount of sunshine, but very little rainfall (approximately 300 mm/year), doubtlessly influenced by its gentle relief. Temperatures are mild throughout the year (with average highs and lows between 24.5° C and 16.8° C). January is the coldest month and August the hottest.

In summary, its climate is arid, while its tendency to hot temperatures is attenuated by the persistent trade winds.
