May most likely marks the beginning of the summer season, the feeling that summer has arrived is quite justified, the hot sun and warm morning breeze will speak for themselves. Ocean water temperature after winter period is still quite low and ranges from +20°C to 21°C. The climate is beginning to improve throughout the island, including in the north. Of course, it didn’t deteriorate much, but nevertheless, it was cold in the mountains, and there was snow on the Teide volcano. Evenings at the resorts from February to March did not quite feel like summer, more like spring, because the island has its second name - “Island eternal spring- La isla de la eterna primavera." In the morning hours, a refreshing sea breeze is possible from the ocean. In daytime On the beach, the May sun beats down mercilessly. Don't forget about sunscreen; the refreshing sea wind masks sunburn well.

If you have a choice in which part of the island to stay, then you can choose any resort, it will be comfortable everywhere, but who prefers more sunny days rather than cloudy, it is better to look towards Playa de Las Americas, Costa Adeje, Playa Paraiso or Callao Salvaje, including Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes. If you are not afraid of winds and love gently sloping beaches, then definitely El Medano.

Water temperature in May:

The Canaries are called islands "eternal spring". The island of Tenerife is part of the archipelago Canary Islands. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Morocco. Unlike mainland Spain, it is much closer to the equator. But the ocean cools the hot desert winds, so the climate here is more even. Indeed, such weather contributes to the constant flowering of plants, shrubs and trees. Due to the mountain range, the island is divided into two parts. The weather in each of them can differ radically. The climate on Tenerife and other islands is truly unique.

Summer is warm, but not hot, and winter is cool, but not cold, comparable to the temperature of April-May in middle lane Russia. It rarely rains. The water temperature does not drop below 17-18 degrees, which allows you to relax here all year round. IN winter months The ocean temperature is several degrees higher than the average daily air temperature.

The islands are very popular with older Europeans. They move here to live from the cold northern countries and from the hot southern ones. Here the weather is exactly what is conducive to the health of most. Excursions to the islands can also be taken all year round.

Look at the table of minimum temperatures and number of rainy days on the island.

May

Beach season officially opens. There are few tourists yet, but the sea is already warm enough to please big circle of people. In May, it is better to come here for those who cannot stand the sweltering August heat. Walks along the sea and excursions through the mountains and villages will be a pleasant alternative to beach loungers.

If you want to face the rain, then we will disappoint you. IN summer months the precipitation level does not exceed half a centimeter.

July

When does the peak begin in mainland Spain? tourist season, Tenerife is quite calm. Of course, there are a lot of tourists, but in a couple of months there will be 2-3 times more of them.

Tenerife in winter, spring, summer and autumn: weather, ocean, photos

Golden and gray beaches. Huge forests and large areas, scorched by ejections of volcanic mass. A huge mountain with a snow-capped top... all this and much more on a beautiful and chic island right in the Atlantic Ocean. Can you guess what place we're talking about? Of course, this is Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands. You can relax here all year round, because it’s not for nothing that the island is called the island of eternal spring. But even in a world where spring is endless, there is the best and worst time for relax. Today we will talk about what the weather is like in Tenerife by month and the temperature of the ocean water in different time of the year. Having learned all this, you can easily choose the month when it will be best to relax here.

The best time for a beach holiday in Tenerife

As we already wrote above, you can come to the island all year round and relax here on the ocean shore. But precisely because of the ocean, which almost never warms up, the beach season in Tenerife is not very long.
Favorite months for tourists are August, September and October. These months are consecutive, one after another, so you can immediately come on vacation for the entire quarter.
The island is warmest in late summer and early spring. It is in August and September that the air temperature reaches its peak. During the day it is always stable +27 degrees, and at night it is a little lower and +22 degrees.

The maximum temperature is also shown by the ocean off the coast of the island. The water these days is warmed up to +24 degrees. At this time there is almost no wind, so the ocean is calm. Although sometimes there are waves on it that interfere with normal rest, this happens extremely rarely.
October is the third month when holidaying in Tenerife is simply blissful. At the same time, air temperatures drop slightly, but the ocean, on the contrary, becomes warmer. True in October a large number of rain, which discourages tourists. But there are also plenty of sunny days. Usually this is 4-6 rainy days and 19-21 sunny days.

Weather table for Tenerife by month

Take a look at the island's weather summary table to see for yourself that you can come here at any time of the year.

The rainiest months on the island

Oddly enough, October is both one of the best months for relaxation and at the same time, the wettest month of the year. It is in mid-autumn that the most precipitation falls here, and it can rain for up to six to seven days.
Also to rainy months include November, December and August. But this is more likely due to high temperature air, and when the sun shines most actively, there are often showers and thunderstorms.

Dry months in Tenerife

From March to July there is very little rain on the island. The amount of precipitation is not high and tourists do not need to take an umbrella with them. Usually during this time period there are 1-2 rainy days in each month. But the rains are usually quiet and the drops fall so slowly that you want to help them fall to the ground as quickly as possible.

When is the ocean warmest?

The Atlantic Ocean generally has difficulty warming up. It is huge, it has many currents, including cold ones. All winter and spring, the water in the ocean is below twenty degrees Celsius. And in summer and autumn, the water gradually warms up and becomes warmest closer to autumn. If you like not just sunbathing, but also swimming in the water, then you should come to the island in September or October. It is during these months that water has its maximum values.

Sunny months in Tenerife

July can be considered the sunniest month. It is in the middle of summer that there are 29-30 sunny days. Next comes March and December, and June is slightly behind them.
But the sun is not a guarantee warm weather And warm sea. The sea here has its own rules, and the air warms up thanks to the blowing winds that blow from northern Africa in winter and spring, bringing with them coolness.

Features of holidays on the island of Tenerife

The main feature here is one: you can relax at the resorts of the island all year round. But swimming in the ocean is not always possible.
On the coast of the island you can often see gray sand. It became like this because of the volcanoes that threw ash and lava here hundreds of years ago. To this day, Tenerife has dormant volcanoes that sometimes remind of themselves.
Tourists are sure that it is best to relax on gray beaches, as it is believed that there are more healing substances there.
But there are also plenty of beaches with white and yellow sand on the island. Most of them were made artificially to attract tourists. But there are also places on the coast where emissions from the volcano did not reach.
The nature of the island is varied and beautiful. And when you can’t swim in the ocean, tourists happily go on excursions to the mountains and forests. They climb snow-capped mountain tops, come close to craters and view the ocean from special observation platforms that are above the water level.
Most of the hotels are located right next to the ocean, and some hang from the mountains and hang over the water. In the morning you will be awakened by the sound of the waves, and in the evening you will fall asleep to the singing of seagulls and the singing of water in the ocean.
Holidaying in Tenerife is a pleasure, and we wish you to experience it for yourself.

Comfortable all year round and mild climate is an undeniable advantage of Tenerife. In the summer months it is moderately hot, although geographically the Canaries belong to Africa. In winter it is not cold, there are no seasons of tropical downpours or hurricanes. You can come to the island to relax at any time. This is exactly the case when nature does not have bad weather. But there are some nuances that will be useful to know in advance.

Tenerife is an island with difficult terrain. Due to this, on a landmass the size of two Moscows, territories with different microclimates adjoin. But the most striking contrast is between north and south.
Winds constantly blow on the island from the northeast, creating waves and clouds. In the mountains, 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 protected from the weather by a wall of mountains. It is warmer and sunnier here, the ocean is calmer, rains are infrequent and mostly short-lived.

Since the vast majority of tourists from Russia prefer to relax on the southern coast of the island (namely at the resorts of Costa Adeje, Las Americas, Los Cristianos), we will pay special attention to it.
Here, at different times of the year, during the day the air usually warms up to 21-28°C in the shade. It is coolest in February, hottest in August.

You are in Africa and not far from the equator. So in winter 20°C in the shade - on a good day in the open sun it feels like six degrees more. Another thing is that in winter there is a higher probability of cloudiness, wind and precipitation, even in the south.
By the way, you can tan (and get sunburned too) in Tenerife even in cloudy weather.

The best time of year to relax on the island is September and October. There are significantly fewer tourists and less active sun compared to August, and the ocean warms up to annual maximums.

The weather on the west coast of the island (resorts Los Gigantes, Puerto Santiago, Playa de la Arena) is the same as on the south. And in winter there are even a few 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, Puerto de la Cruz tends to have slightly cooler temperatures. In summer this is not important, and it may even feel hotter due to high humidity.
In winter, the difference sometimes reaches four to 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 didn’t come to the north to sunbathe and swim in the ocean (waves!).

And this systematically misleads tourists into a state of mild panic, giving rise to the same questions on the forums year after year. This is understandable: 16°C during the day, and even with rain, is not at all what holidaymakers packing their suitcases for warmer climes dream about in winter.

Check the weather forecast on the right websites and exactly for the part of the island where you plan to vacation!

The neighborhood with Africa has one unpleasant feature. Sometimes during sandstorms in the Sahara, the wind brings dust, sand and hot air to Tenerife. The thermometer can easily jump to 40°C, the sky is clouded with a gray haze, and without air conditioning it’s difficult. This outrage is called “Kalima”, and it is unpredictable.

But it's not all that scary. Firstly, Kalima happens infrequently, 5-6 times a year. Secondly, it usually lasts only 2-4 days, after which the weather quickly returns to normal climate. Thirdly, its intensity varies and often goes unnoticed by tourists.

Tenerife, the largest island of the Canary archipelago, captivates the hearts of travelers with its huge number of sandy beaches of black and golden sand, its constant celebration, its passionate and at the same time romantic character, and its peaceful siesta. Thanks to its natural and climatic features the island has become one of the most privileged and popular resorts in the world.

The continent in miniature with its subtropical and tropical forests, fertile valleys, majestic mountain ranges, volcanic semi-deserts, sand dunes and mountain gorges attract tourists throughout the year. The tropical trade wind climate ensures that the island never experiences prolonged rainy seasons or sub-zero temperatures.

On the “Island of Eternal Spring”, with its even and mild climate, there are no sudden temperature changes. The water in the Atlantic Ocean, even in the coldest months, warms up to +20°C, and the daytime air temperature fluctuates between +18°C-24°C, which makes it possible to sunbathe and swim at any time of the year.

January

But it's never really cold in the north of the island, Where:

A pleasant surprise for vacationers in early January will be the holiday of the Three Kings or Three Wise Men, who, according to the biblical story, brought gifts to the newborn Christ. This holiday is especially widely celebrated in the port of the Los Cristianos resort or in the city square in Adeje, where 3 mummered kings and their retinue arrive by ship or helicopter.

With a salvo from a cannon on a ship or fireworks, residents and guests of the resorts are notified of the arrival of the kings, who then mount horses or camels and parade along the main streets, accompanied by elegant carriages. They hand out candy to all the children. The balconies and doors of the houses of the residents of these streets are festively decorated with flower arrangements and flags.

Another important event to see on the island is Saint Sebastian's Day. It is celebrated every year on January 20th. Traditionally, the holiday in honor of the patron saint of policemen, soldiers, merchants, doctors, gardeners, builders and athletes is held in the province of Costa Adeje in the south and in the village of La Galeta.

Processions depart from the chapel with believers dressed in national costumes of peasants and riders on horses. The statue of the saint is carried on a stretcher. Pets also accompany the procession. As a sign of cleansing from troubles, riders ride into the sea, where they also try to drag and livestock. The spectacle is funny, so it attracts many hotel guests and other travelers.

February

The weather in the second month of the year differs little from the weather in Tenerife in January.

In the northern part of the island, for example, at the resort of the island of Puerto de la Cruz:
• The highest daytime temperature will be +19°C, in the evening it gradually decreases from +16°C to +12°C,
• The most low temperature at night it stays at +9°C.
• There may be 11 rainy days during February.
• The sun shines 6 hours a day.

The humid Atlantic trade winds are absolutely not conducive to swimming in the ocean, but for surfers it is the most beautiful weather.

If you vacation on the island in February, you should definitely take warm clothes with you, especially for evening walks along the promenade. But your holiday will be comfortable this month too, since basically all hotels have heated outdoor swimming pools on their premises.

In February you can climb the highest point in all of Spain - Mount Teide, covered with snow. The last eruption of Teide was recorded in 1909. It offers fantastic panoramic views of the entire Canary Islands. National Park Teide is located on the slopes of a mountain and is included in the UNESCO heritage list.

The end of winter is also attractive due to the Carnival, declared an international tourist festival in 1980. The date of the grandiose event is “floating” and depends on the date of Easter - the Resurrection of Christ. Therefore, as a rule, Carnival is celebrated either at the end of February or at the beginning of March.

A grandiose and exciting event, accompanied by processions in carnival costumes, the sounds of fiery music and dynamic dances, takes place in all cities and small villages of the island, but it is celebrated on an especially large scale in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the island.

The main attention of all residents and tourists is focused on the choice of the Carnival Queen (Gala Reina). Girls parade in front of the jury and spectators in extravagant costumes, whose length and width can reach several meters.

Also a separate and most popular competition is competition among transvestites (Drag Queen), whose costumes are somewhat more modest in volume than those of the girls, but transvestites try to place more emphasis on plastic movements in shoes with extra-high platforms and frankly provocative costumes.

You can get to Santa Cruz for Carnival by public transport– buses, the route scheme of which provides for regular service, with an interval of about 30 minutes.

• The distance from Playa de Las Americas and Playa de Los Cristianos to the capital is 75 km,
• from Puerto de La Cruz – 35 km,
• from Playa Paraiso – 90 km,
• from Costa del Silencio – 70 km.

In the north of the island thermometer column:
• During the day it shows +20 °C,
• In the evening from +17°C to +13°C,
• At night +10-11°C.
• The waters of the Atlantic Ocean warm up to +19°C.
• The rich and varied vegetation of the northern part of the island is due to 11 rainy days.

On South:
• The average daily temperature is +22°C, but it can warm up to +30°C,
• Night +16°C,
• Water temperature +19°C.

Warm clothes will not be superfluous, and it is recommended to swim in the ocean before 15:00, as you can catch a cold later. There are many advantages of staying on the island in March.

Firstly, there are no crowds of tourists yet, which makes visiting the island’s attractions comfortable:

• Peaks of Teide volcano, which can be reached by cable car, and
• Loro Parka- simultaneously botanical garden and the zoo.

The park is located in the resort town in the north of the island in Puerto de la Cruz at the address: Punta Brava, Puerto de La Cruz and represents numerous species of parrots. The park also houses an aquarium and a dolphinarium, where unique shows with marine life.

If the weather in March does not allow you to indulge in idle “doing nothing” on the beach, then you can go to knight's tournament in the castle of San Miguel, taking place in a small town in the south at the address: Avenida Edelmira Alfonso, S/N 38628, San Miguel de Abona.

Medieval castle, decorated in the appropriate surroundings, immerses visitors in the atmosphere of the times of noble knights, ruled by King Arthur. At the entrance, visitors are greeted by riders in knightly costumes, handing out capes of 6 colors, which means which knight should be rooted for. In the armory, visitors are warmly greeted by the king and princess. The masterful use of swords and spears, prancing on horses and the competition of knights in armor will take your breath away.

From among the beautiful spectators, the winner of the tournament chooses a “lady of the heart”, who is given the right to become an honored guest of the royal balcony. After tasting a medieval dinner consisting of stew and chicken, the castle guests go to continue the tournament and then to the disco.

The knight's tournament is held in the castle on Tue, Wed, Thu and Sat.

April

Real spring reigns on the island.

• During the day it warms up to +22°C (maximum up to +26°C),
• Nighttime is +16°C, water temperature +20°C.
• During the entire month, only 3 rainy days are possible, but the rains are very short, so there is no point in taking umbrellas here.

The number of tourists in April is growing. Also, do not forget that April is vacation time for Spanish schoolchildren, so there are many important seniors with their spouses in the hotels, surrounded by their happy offspring. It is definitely worth booking your hotel in advance.

As a rule, Easter is celebrated in this month, so every city and small village solemnly celebrates religious holiday. Traditionally, the Crusade is held in Good Friday in small places, and in major cities Crusades, starting from Palm Sunday (we have Palm Sunday) last for a whole week.

At first, an uninitiated tourist may think that he has found himself in the Middle Ages and soon someone, and perhaps he himself, will become a victim of the Holy Inquisition. But when the orchestras begin, theatrical performances begin, and the long-suffering crucified Christ is carried out on a stretcher, you immediately understand that this is the most important church holiday of the entire calendar year.

May
