TENERIFE
WEATHER
It
isn't without reason that Tenerife is referred to as the island of
eternal springtime. With an all year round temperate climate it is
an ideal place for winter sunshine, if fact any time of year sunshine.
The
Weather on Tenerife changes considerably depending on your location.
The warmest climate can be found on the south and west sides of the
island. But, if you take a drive up the hill to the foot of Mt. Teide,
cold winds and even snow at certain times of year are commonplace.
Tenerife features
the lowest temperature 'difference' between summer and winter for
anywhere in the world. The weather occasionally includes rain, but
there is no specific 'rainy season'.
The minimum and
maximum annual average air temperatures in Tenerife are about 15C
in winter and 24C in summer. However in the summer months temperatures
away from the breeze but still in the shade can often hit the mid
30C's Therefore the island enjoys wonderful weather in one of the
world's best climates.
The Island offers
a surprising variety of micro-climatic weather zones, enabling people
to almost 'choose' their climate, depending on where they live. The
Trade winds, together with the refreshing Gulf air currents, are the
major weather factors that contribute to Tenerife's climate. The coastal
areas enjoy the most sunshine, the best weather, the least clouds
and highest temperatures.
