Comfortable throughout the year and mild climate - indisputable dignity Tenerife. AT summer months moderately hot, although geographically the Canaries belong to Africa. Winter is not cold, there are no seasons of tropical showers and hurricanes. You can come to the island to rest at any time. This is just the case when nature has no bad weather. But there are some nuances that will be useful to know in advance.
Tenerife is an island with a complex terrain. Due to this, on a land plot the size of two Moscow, territories with different microclimates coexist. But the most striking contrast is between north and south.
From the northeast, winds constantly blow on the island, forming waves and clouds. In the mountains, the clouds turn into rain, but they are not always able to overcome the mountain range. Therefore, 80% of all precipitation goes to the north.
In contrast to the humid north, the "beach" south of Tenerife is closed from the weather by a wall of mountains. Here it is warmer and sunnier, the ocean is calmer, rains are infrequent and mostly short.

Weather in the south of Tenerife
Since the vast majority of tourists from Russia prefer to relax on south coast islands (namely, in the resorts of Costa Adeje, Las Americas, Los Cristianos), then we will pay special attention to it.
Here in different time during the day the air usually warms up to 21-28°C in the shade. The coolest is in February, the hottest - in August.
You are in Africa and not far from the equator. So in winter, 20 ° C in the shade is on a good day in the open sun, it feels six degrees more. Another thing is that in winter the probability of cloudiness, wind and precipitation is higher, even in the south.
By the way, you can get a tan (and get burned too) in Tenerife even in cloudy weather.
The best time of the year to visit the island is September and October. There are significantly fewer tourists and not as active sun compared to August, and the ocean warms up to annual highs.
Weather at other resorts
Weather on west coast islands (resorts of Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago, Playa de la Arena) is the same as in the south. And in winter there are even more sunny days.
The city of Puerto de la Cruz, although located in the middle of the northern coast, lies in a lowland, therefore it is fair to talk about a special microclimate in the city.

Compared to the south in Puerto de la Cruz, the air temperature is usually slightly lower. In summer, this is not important, and it feels even hotter due to high humidity.
In winter, the difference sometimes reaches four or five degrees, which is quite noticeable. Significantly less sun, more rainy days.
And if you don’t compare, then in general it’s not bad, if you don’t sunbathe in the north and swim in the ocean (waves!) Arrived.
