Are you planning to enjoy your holidays to Tenerife? If yes, you made the right decision. Tenerife is popular to visitors because of its white-sand beaches, gorgeous valleys and mountains, ancient ruins, rural towns, thriving communities, and friendly people. In fact, many visitors think that Tenerife is the closest thing to an ideal paradise.
Part of the reason Tenerife is great with visitors is its mild climate. Named as the Isla de la Eterna Primavera, or “Island of Eternal Spring” Tenerife has a warm climate all throughout the year having 26- to 28-degree-Celsius temperatures during the summer months. During winter, the temperature drops down to an average of 20 to 22 degrees Celsius. The pleasant climate is due to tradewinds whose humidity is condensed over the north and northeast side of Tenerife. Also, cold sea currents of the Atlantic provide a cooling effect on the beaches of the island. The lay of the land also contributes a lot to the climatic differences in the valleys, massifs, plains, and mountains of the island.
During winter months, it is possible to still enjoy the sunshine at the beaches. But just a few miles inland and at 3,000 meters above sea level, the land would experience a gentle snowfall. Thus, it is advisable to bring warm clothing even if you are at the beach sunbathing.
Furthermore, at low altitude, climes may differ considerably. For example, the southeastern side of the island is characterized by an arid climate while the northwestern side bathes in a Mediterranean climate.
Summer is from May to September, and the land is normally dry. Rainfall is quite erratic from one year to another. Total yearly precipitation is normally low. The north of the island receives 73 percent of the overall precipitation in Tenerife.
