Tenerife Weather, When to Go and Tenerife Climate Information
(Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain)



The weather on Tenerife is amongst some of the best on offer around the world and the constant warm climate attracts visitors to Tenerife throughout the year. The coastal areas of Tenerife tend to offer the hottest weather and clearest skies, often with seemingly endless sunshine and only occasional rain.

Southern and western Tenerife are the warmest sides of the island, with the northern side receiving more rain, resulting in lusher, greener growth and dense areas of tropical plantations. The island is full of distinct micro-climates and Mount Teide, Spain's tallest mountain, is just a short drive from the sunny, hot coastline and regularly features snowy weather from around 2,000 metres / 6,560 feet upwards. Tenerife's famous Passat winds, known locally as the 'Vientos Alisios', and surrounding ocean combine to regulate the temperatures even during the sunniest weather, offering a pleasant cooling effect and gentle breezes.
