Sun and beach are confirmed throughout the year in the Atlantic archipelago. Each of its ten islands has charming corners, colorful houses and truly virgin beaches. It is also a highly recommended place for surfing.

Hit the beach in Cyprus or lunch alfresco in Marbella with our ultimate guide

The Baths of Aphrodite, Cyprus

Andrew Eames

Friday October 21 2022, 5. 00pm, The Times

The next few weeks can be a marvellous time to be around the Med. It is no longer gaspingly hot but there’s enough strength in the sun for luxuriating by the pool. The land is at its most colourful, particularly when lit by a low-slung late-summer sun. And the sea is retaining its warmth — at present about 23C in the southern reaches of the Mediterranean.

Prices are considerably lower than much of the rest of the year, and hoteliers and restaurateurs will be pleased to see you — provided that they are open, of course. For this is also a risky time to take the plunge, with resorts and islands all over the Mediterranean steadily shutting up shop. With that in mind, and given that the sun is not going to be 100 per cent reliable, I find it’s best to choose last-blast destinations that are more mainstream but have plenty of local variety; a hotel in a gorgeously lonely spot is not going to work out well if it rains. And prioritise small, self-catering or family-run accommodation over big properties, which can feel desolate when they’re empty.

The selection of destinations that follows — Lanzarote, Malta, Cyprus, Rhodes and southern Spain — takes into account all of the above and marries them with the best of the sun conditions, according to the Met Office weather average daily maximums for October (metoffice.gov.uk). These numbers will be optimistic if you are travelling in November, of course, when the maximums decline by three or four degrees.

But it is not too late for a last-ditch run to the sun and a dose of vitamin D. There are plenty of pool-lounging, horse-riding, badlands-striding, wine-quaffing, fly-driving and road-biking experiences still to be done — and we know where. All prices given are the lowest start price for October/November.

The Spanish migrate to the Canaries in summer and northern Europeans come in winter, so autumn is a bit of a halfway house. Yet this is the time when temperatures are higher than they will be during the islands’ famed winter sun season (from December to February) and hotels are far from busy.

Of all the islands Lanzarote is the warmest Canary, but it is also the strangest looking. Thanks to its volcanic origins the island has the texture and colour of elephant hide: wrinkled, humped and bristled, and occasionally covered in different coloured dust where the elephant has rolled. Its villages are splodges of white paint in folds of the elephant’s skin. Yet amid all that sombre aridity stuff grows, creating a particularly stark contrast of fresh green on grey.

It is an unlikely place to have become such a tourist success, but there are several things that make it work. It has beaches, of course, the best at the big, cheerful and slightly tatty grandad of a resort Puerto del Carmen, which still has plenty of joie de vivre. There are more intimate beaches in the south at Playa Blanca, which doesn’t have the same vibe as Puerto, but the hotels, such as the Rubicon Palace, are more lavish and still buzzy at this time of year (seven nights’ B&B from £559pp, including flights; broadwaytravel.com).

Volcanic landscapes are everywhere, but most notably in the Timanfaya National Park, where the solidified lava is like a rictus sea frozen in mid-storm. It’s an alien landscape, rugged and sharp, and to wander off-piste across these badlands is to wave goodbye to your shoes — best to do your walking with a group guided by somebody who knows the place like the back of their hand (seven nights’ half-board from £1,399pp, including flights, departing on November 5; ramblersholidays.co.uk).

In recent years the island has made a big play for fitness fans. The climate and hills have made it a huge cycle training destination, particularly around the less touristy northern province of Las Palmas, at Haria and Tabayesco (rental from £18 a day; papagayobike. com), and the kite-surfing scene is pretty massive too, at Famara Beach (15 hours of lessons for £435, including equipment; watermanlanzarote.com). Not far away along the coast is Club La Santa, a specialist sports hotel with two Olympic pools, a proper running track and more than 500 activities every week, for truly hardcore holidaymakers who like to sleep well (seven nights’ self-catering for two from £903; clublasanta.com).

It’s not all high-adrenaline stuff, however. Every Sunday locals and tourists converge on Teguise, the former capital of the Canaries, to browse the stalls and restaurants that line its streets and squares. Jewellery, leather goods and crafts are big — merchandise that will make you realise how close you are to Morocco. And across the island there are many sites created by the artist César Manrique — from his Bond lair-esque Jameos del Agua with a swimming pool, restaurant, bar and events space inside volcanic tunnels and caves, to his various extremely stylish former homes and his funky, spiky Jardin de Cactus (entry to four sites £25 per adult; cactlanzarote. com).

Then there’s the local wine and seafood. For a sunset meal, seek out the string of little restaurants along the west-facing seafront of the village of El Golfo. Settle at the waterside terrace of Restaurant Bogavante (mains from £9; restaurantebogavante.es) for all sorts of seafood, from limpets to lobster, watch the sun go down and have a glass of El Grifo, one of the best of the island wines, from the region of La Geria. It’s uniquely made from grapes grown in cones of volcanic ash.

Malta

October average: 25C
Average hours of sun daily: 7
This island republic, adrift in the southern Mediterranean between Sicily and the Libyan coast, has long been a haven for knights, monks and pirates. Its neolithic, Roman and Arab backstories have all left their stony footprints, although the defining history is of the powerful crusading Knights of St John — led by the grand master — who controlled Malta from 1530 to 1798.

Where the knights’ fearsome fleet of warships rode at anchor in what is one of the world’s most sheltered and strategic natural harbours, Valletta, there are now cruise ships and superyachts. And many of the knights’ palaces and merchants’ mansions of Valletta have been converted into upmarket hotels. It is here you should aim to stay in this late season, when the island’s beach destinations start to look empty.

You don’t have to abandon all hope of sun and swimming, however, because a few of these converted city mansions have rooftop pools for warmer days, including the 13-room Palazzo Consiglia, in a 400-year-old property just round the corner from the famous Barrakka Gardens. From here you might catch a glimpse of cloistered nuns pacing back and forth on an adjacent convent terrace, deep in meditative thought (seven nights’ B&B from £588pp, including flights; loveholidays.com).

Valletta, Malta

The advantage of staying in town is the proximity to stylish coffee shops such as Caffe Cordina on Republic Street (caffecordina. com), opposite parliament, where you can order an anchovy and spinach pie and collar a government minister to give him or her your view of the world. Then there’s Nenu, formerly a bakery, which specialises in Maltese food — particularly pizza-like ftira and, of course, the island favourite, rabbit stew (£16.50; nenuthebaker.com).

At night, however, downtown Valletta is quiet. Social life moves along the promenade to the north, to the inlets and bays of Sliema, St Julians and Paceville. Here the seafront is always busy, and when darkness falls the coloured lights from the bars and restaurants reflect in the water. This is a place of cocktail lounges, designer shopping and five-star hotels such as AX the Palace, with an infinity pool on the roof (seven nights’ B&B from £558pp, including flights; tui.co.uk).

Anyone spending any time on Malta will head inland at some point to Mdina, the island’s former capital, a traffic-free hilltop city made of glowing golden limestone that was one of the early locations for Game of Thrones and still feels a bit like a parallel universe. It’s a place to drink tea on the ancient walls, looking down over olive groves and vineyards — the Fontanella Tea Garden and Bar is a good spot, famous for its cakes (fontanellateagarden.com.mt).

Mdina is one of the key stops, along with St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, on a group tour that digs deep into the island’s archaeology. Other destinations include the 5,000-year-old temple of Hagar Qim and the extraordinary labyrinth of St Paul’s Catacombs. The itinerary isn’t all about old stones, though: there’s lunch scheduled by the water’s edge in Marsaxlokk, a bright and cheerful fishing village where every other restaurant claims to have its own boat (six nights’ half-board from £1,395pp, including flights; brightwaterholidays.com).

It is harvest season in Cyprus, and the island’s western end, anchored by the historic resort of Paphos, is the place to get the best of the sunsets. The verges here smell of oregano, and there will be queues at the olive mill, where locals bring their crops for pressing. There are pick-your-own orchards in the western foothills of the Troodos mountains, offering lemons, figs, dates, grapes, limes, pomelos, red grapefruits, guavas and pomegranates, all direct from the vine, bush or tree. Stop off en route to your villa at the end of a day’s exploring, fill a plastic bag, and you’ll be able to utter those immortal lines: “Can someone peel me a pomelo? I’m in the pool.”

As it happens, villas with pools are inexpensive at this time of year. Even a place such as Coral Bay’s Villa Veryina, just north of Paphos, which would normally sleep eight, is happy to welcome two at the same cost per person, so seven nights’ self-catering is from £240pp, excluding flights (jamesvillas.co.uk).

To get a real feel for the island you have to drive inland, through large flocks of wandering goats, to discover the original, village-based Cyprus, the Cyprus with monasteries and ten Unesco-registered Byzantine churches, the Cyprus that was once a huge provider of fruit and vegetables to the eastern end of the Mediterranean. Traditional agriculture has had a resurgence, and now there are boutique wineries — Lambouri in Kato Platres, for example (lambouri.com) — and little cheese-making dairies such as Katsoura in Galataria (katsouras.com). Sustainable tourism initiatives have created wine trails and routes (csti-cyprus.org) through villages where little tavernas serve basic food based on salad, vegetables, pulses, bread and fruit.

All this can be explored on a two-centre fly-drive that combines Paphos with the fishing village of Latchi, on the north coast right next to the Baths of Aphrodite and Akamas National Park. Even in this late season Latchi remains a good place to find restaurants overlooking the water, particularly the No 9 Lounge, which serves a mean seafood platter (mains from around £11.50; facebook.com/no9lounge). Latchi is the place to find smaller, family-run hotels such as the Aphrodite Beach, included in the two-centre fly-drive — a much better bet than a big-brand property, which can be echoingly empty at this time of year. Seven nights’ B&B with flights and car hire for two costs from £2,075 (sunvil.co.uk).

Despite the tourism development there is serious walking to be had on the island, notably along the jagged Avgas Gorge, which leads inland from the coast, north of Paphos. Beyond the gorge the tracks get increasingly tough, and even the goats turn back, but somewhere out here is the mysterious Fontana Amorosa, a pool where everyone who tastes the water falls in love (so they say). The challenge of finding it should inspire single travellers, who could join a group of fellow singles on a single supplement-free hosted week at Paphos’s Aquamare Beach Hotel, a spa hotel next to the beach (seven nights’ B&B, including flights nd four dinners, costs from £750pp, departing on October 29; friendshiptravel.com).

Prasonisi beach, Rhodes

Rhodes, Greece

October average: 24.3C
Average hours of sun daily: 8
There’s no better place to be when the sun goes down than at the Temple of Athena on the Acropolis at Lindos, lifted heavenwards on a giddy promontory surrounded by sea. So much so that there’s regular skirmishing between hawkish temple attendants and influencers determined to capture the moment on their drones.

You can see why they try: Lindos is Rhodes’s prettiest settlement, built in the 10th century BC, uphill and inland from its beach-lined harbour, to keep it safe from pirates. In the heat of the day its ancient alleys are busy with donkeys and day trippers, and in the evenings visitors and residents percolate upwards to dine at roof-terrace restaurants, the sound of conviviality wafting over the tiles.

Unfortunately, Rhodes is one of those destinations where the flight schedules wither dramatically from the first week of November, rendering most beach resorts comatose. Yet Lindos, which always has a niche, stays lively.

It’s a last chance to head inland to the Traditional Guesthouse Limeri, which sits at the base of Mount Akramitis, Rhodes’s second-highest peak, surrounded by pine forest (look out for wild deer) in the village of Monolithos. There’s good walking along marked trails from here, particularly up to the Venetian Monolithos Castle, perched on a vertical rock (the monolith). The Limeri (B&B), with its cosy firelit dining room, and the chic, white F Charm in Lindos (room only) are a good pairing for a fly-drive and a seven-night package from £2,276 for two, departing on October 26 (sunvil.co.uk).

Prasonisi Beach at Rhodes’s southern tip is a place of pilgrimage for kiters. Its isthmus of sand has two water conditions: the offshore side is flat, good for learning, while the onshore side has small breaking waves, perfect for developing new moves. Kite Prasonisi, on site, has all the gear and knowhow (rental and tuition costs are about £61 an hour; kiteprasonisi.com).

If you’d prefer not to venture so far, Rhodes’s medieval Old Town has more than a touch of Constantinople, with a maze of alleys and coffee shops that could easily be the backstreets of Istanbul. It was once the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of the god Helios standing by the harbour entrance, and one of the seven ancient wonders of the world. The Colossus may have gone, but the more than 600-year-old citadel and the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of St John, along with dozens of other Unesco-registered monuments, still dominate. And there are intimate places such as the Mevlana shisha bar, with its mosaic floor and stained glass (facebook.com/hookahbarrhodes). Stay within walking distance of the Old Town in the Semiramis, overlooking the Aegean (seven nights’ B&B from £324pp, including flights; travelrepublic.co.uk).

Finally, Rhodes may not have the uber-trendiness of Mykonos or Santorini, but it does have discreet hipster hangouts such as Casa Cook, on the coast by Kolymbia, 30 minutes’ drive south of the capital. This is a bohemian boutique hotel, all clean lines, woven throws, rattan furnishings and polished concrete, and in late October it is warmer and a great deal cheaper than its more fashionable cousins (B&B doubles from £107; mrandmrssmith.com).

Puente Romano, Marbella

Southern Spain

October average: 24. 1C
Average hours of sun daily: 7
Spain’s south coast offers that heady combination of the sea and sand of the Costa del Sol backed by the foothills and white towns of the Sierra Nevada. And with a large population of expat property owners along this shore, flight numbers into the gateway city of Malaga remain consistent when they are dying away for other summer destinations.

● Where is hot in November? 11 sunny destinations
● The best countries for some winter sun

Malaga makes a worthy weekend in itself, with its beaches, Picasso connections and sweeping views from its 11th-century Moorish fortress, the Alcazaba. In the evenings beachfront chiringuitos, little informal restaurants on the sand, grill espetos — sardines — on wooden embers; you eat them with your fingers (chiringuitopicasso.com).

If that sounds a bit primitive for your tastes but you still want beach, head west to Marbella, particularly its so-called Golden Mile, the stretch of seafront west of the resort centre, where the most expensive properties, tropical gardens, exclusive restaurants and top hotels are located.

Alhambra, Spain

Typical of its hotels is the Puente Romano, built in the style of an Andalusian village surrounded by lush subtropical gardens and waterfalls. It’s a lavish place, with multiple restaurants, a Six Senses spa, and all kinds of activities from tennis to golf and paddleboarding to Pilates. In short, a place to have a last blast of hedonism (three nights’ B&B from £761.50pp, including flights; ba.com).

Uphill and inland, the going gets tougher. In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada are hidden cobbled and whitewashed villages linked by goat-herder paths, with great walking and horse-riding at this time of year, now it is not too hot.

One of the prime routes, following tracks carved out by olive harvesters, forms the basis of a ten-day self-guided hike through the karstic limestone rock formations of the Sierras Subbeticas Natural Park, while vultures circle to see whether you’re carrying sandwiches. The starting point is Cordoba, where the big attraction is the extraordinary Mezquita, originally a cathedral, then a mosque and now a cathedral again, its interior a riot of columns and Islamic arches.

From here you walk via a succession of little rural inns to Granada, the spiritual home of flamenco, where you will find the palaces, patios and gardens of the Alhambra, with its fountains and glorious zellige mosaic tilework. The tour features nine nights’ B&B, with seven lunches and six dinners, detailed walking notes and guided tours in both cities from £1,880pp, excluding flights (pura-aventura.com).

And finally, the native breed of Andalusian horses are docile and robust, making them ideal for the trail-riding experiences offered by the English-born stable owner and guide Dallas Love. She is based in the village of Bubion, up in the Alpujarra Mountains, where guests stay in the Casa la Sevillana. From here they set out for rides of four to six hours a day, travelling across the pastures and climbing the sierras in the most traditional of ways, along the most traditional of routes (four nights’ full board plus horse and guide from £600pp, excluding flights, departing on November 5 and 12; inthesaddle. com).

When winter comes, snow falls, the day becomes short, and it is -30 outside the window, you really want to soak up the sun, swim in the warm sea, run along the sand and drink fresh juice from exotic fruits. If you still found time to relax in the winter, then I suggest you get acquainted with the list of 10 places for winter holidays at sea.

1. Thailand

The land of smiles, as Thailand is called, has long been chosen by Russian tourists as a favorite destination for winter holidays, and for good reason. Good service, cheap exotic fruits and juices, delicious seafood, Thai massage, a large and diverse cultural program have allowed Thailand to become the number 1 country for Russian winter holidays.

Now you can fly to Thailand from almost any part of Russia, be it Siberia, Moscow or the Far East. If you do not like flying on charters, then you can fly with transfers via Dubai or Qatar. There are many compatriots living in Thailand who will help you rent a house or apartment for a couple of months if you do not want to live in a hotel.

I would advise you to start your winter trips to warmer climes from Thailand. you don’t need any vaccinations, flights are easily transferred, a large number of tours are offered, people in Thailand almost never acclimatize, and it’s just great there, because you see, spending a couple of thousand dollars for recovery and getting energy for the whole winter and spring is not so expensive . ))

Main holiday destinations: Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Samet, Krabi province.

2. Goa

The first association when mentioning the Indian state of Goa is downshifters who have chosen this heavenly place to live. Europeans, Americans and Russians rent out their apartments, and with this money they live quietly in a warm place and feel great. For ordinary tourists, it is more important that the weather in GOA is excellent in winter, the air temperature is 21-30 degrees, the water warms up to 27-28 degrees, there are 110 km of beaches, friendly Indians will treat you to excellent seafood, and interesting excursions and trance parties will brighten up your boring beach vacation.

Decent hotels are located in South Goa, non-poor Europeans and Indians come here, North Goa is inexpensive, noisy, people here like to rent huts on the seashore, in which they sleep after cool trance parties.

3. Cuba

Cuba is another popular winter seaside destination. For Russians, a visa is not needed here, from November to April there is wonderful weather for sunbathing and swimming in the sea. Beautiful nature, excellent rum, delicious cigars, interesting city architecture and vintage cars create a special atmosphere on Freedom Island, as if you are in a communist country of the mid-20th century, but at the same time you can stay in luxury hotels where “all inclusive and get great service there. I am sure you will enjoy your vacation at the best resorts in the country: Varadero, Havana, Cayo Coco, Holguin, Santa Maria Island.

4. Vietnam

Another visa-free country for Russians is Vietnam. Here you will find excellent sandy beaches with the clearest water, where you can go diving, snorkeling, or just lie on a sun lounger and drink cocktails. If you want to get complete relaxation, then the resorts of Vietnam are perfect for this, and excursions to national parks, temple complexes, boat trips to protected areas, as well as visits to Hanoi and Saigon will complement your beach holiday. Food lovers will definitely fall in love with Vietnamese food with fresh delicious seafood, herbs and various sauces.

The main resorts of the country: Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Con Dao, Halong

5. Dubai

Once upon a time there was a desert on the site of today’s Dubai, but now it is a kind of oasis where residents of various countries flock to relax. It is warm here in winter, the air temperature is 20-25 degrees, the water drops to at least 18 degrees, but in autumn and spring it is very comfortable to swim here. Even despite the fact that the UAE is a Muslim country and it is forbidden to drink alcohol here, tourists find entertainment for themselves. Someone just basks in the sun, someone goes shopping for a fur coat and cheap equipment, someone goes to ride in jeeps in the desert or strives to climb the tallest building in the world.

Gourmets who are willing to part with significant sums will be pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of restaurants of a wide variety of cuisines, here you will find Argentinean, German, French, Thai and other cuisines.

6. Maldives

The Maldives is probably the most popular paradise in the world. The exotic country of the Maldives consists of more than 1000 islands that are located in the Indian Ocean. Vacationers who are tired of the crowds and want to retire will fall in love with the Maldives, there will be no annoying neighbors, in hotels you will get excellent service and enjoy comfort, and you will remember romantic dinners at sunset forever. Someone may argue that holidays in the Maldives are boring, but how boring can be relaxation on the warm coast of the ocean and everyday walks on the snow-white silky sand. If you want to save money while on holiday in the Maldives, then I would advise you to go to another country. ))

7. Brazil

Flying to Brazil will not be easy for everyone, but this country deserves a visit not only for a beach holiday. Excellent Brazilian cuisine, friendly people, a large number of interesting places, rich culture and steep sandy beaches attract tourists from all over the world. If you want to see the Amazon jungle, Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, the cities of Salvador and Sao Paulo, then you can easily organize excursions there, however, you will need to fly in small planes, there is a problem with roads in the country, but in Brazil there are some of the best beaches in the world.

The most popular resorts in Brazil: Angra dos Reis, Buzios, Salvador. You will find great beaches in Fortaleza, Costa de Sauipe, Recife, Natal city, Itacare or Santa Catarina island (Santinho beach).

8. Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic or the Dominican Republic is the “Pearl of the Caribbean”. Here you will spend a divine vacation surrounded by crystal clear sea, white sand beaches and exotic palm trees. There are not so many attractions on the island – this is the Columbus lighthouse, Lemon Falls, national parks with exotic birds, whale watching, but tourists do not come here for this, but to get a boost of energy, eat fruit, swim in the sea, because at home in -30 you can’t do it all. ))

The most popular resorts in the Dominican Republic: Punta Cana, La Romana, Puerto Plata, Boca Chica and Cabarete.

9. Mexico

Mexico is a country rich in resorts. On the Caribbean coast, these are Cancun and the Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen and the island of Cozumel), on the Pacific coast, these are Acapulco, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta. It is pleasant to spend a winter holiday in the fashionable hotels of the country, you can swim a lot on the endless sandy beaches, and yacht trips, huge shopping centers, restaurants and bars will not let you get bored.

If you don’t want to eat delicious seafood and drink tequila or sangrita, you can go in search of Mayan treasures. Also must-sees are the pyramids of Chichen Itza, Cenote Ikkil, Valladoli and Ek-Balama, the Xcaret eco-archaeological park, stalactite caves, Xel-Ha karst lakes, the city of Tulum fortress and a tequila factory.

I forgot to add that Russians and Ukrainians need to get a Mexican visa. This is easy to do, fill out a special form on the Mexican visa site, then you receive a special code that you need to provide to the airline you will fly to on vacation.

10. Sri Lanka

Another excellent place for wintering is the island of Sri Lanka. In winter, the weather here is ideal for swimming in the Indian Ocean and sunbathing. The island has more than 1,000 kilometers of sandy beaches, along which it is interesting to snorkel, because the coastal waters are home to many beautiful fish and many picturesque coral reefs.

If you are interested in excursions, then you need to go to the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, drive through Buddhist temples, visit an elephant farm, or go surfing or kitesurfing.

where to relax and how to travel without visas

Travelers often choose Greece for their summer vacation. But where in the country can you relax in winter? We talk about six directions where winter landscapes take your breath away.

Why tourists choose Greece for their holidays during the pandemic

Three directions for city walks

Athens – is the ideal place for winter holidays and Christmas celebrations. In December and January, the city hosts festivals and musical events: jazz and classical melodies sound on every street.

On Syntagmatos Square, near the Royal Palace, a Christmas tree, a children’s carousel and outdoor pavilions with local cuisine are being set up. Nearby is the National Garden of Athens, which opens an ice rink in winter.

In winter, local guides also offer tourists excursions for every taste: from a classic walk through the hills of the Acropolis to mini-tours through the family wineries of the city.

Winter Acropolis in Athens, Greece. January is the coldest month in the country. The average air temperature is +10 °C

Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece. Christmas and New Year holidays are held on Aristotle’s Square, and instead of a Christmas tree in the city, it annually decorates a ship. This is a Greek tradition.

Tenerife weather all year: Tenerife Weather and Climate

Опубликовано: December 2, 2022 в 6:53 pm

Категории: Miscellaneous

Tenerife Weather and Climate

Thanks to its location, Tenerife’s weather and climate provides summer weather all the year round, with average daily maximums of 20°C degrees throughout the year, it is affectionately known as the land of eternal spring.

Tenerife’s Location

Tenerife is the largest of seven volcanic islands that are known collectively as the Canaries or Canary Islands. These Spanish islands are located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Africa, 2399km from Morocco, and just north of the tropic of cancer (the same latitude as Orlando Florida). It’s a 4-hour flight away from mainland Europe.

Several factors have their say on the islands many microclimates.

The Gulf Streams (Canary Current) and Trade Winds

The islands west of the archipelago tend to be influenced greater by the moist Gulf Stream, hence they’re wetter and have greener vegetation (La Palma, El Hierro and La Gomera). In the summer months, the north-easterly breeze helps to keep the temperatures down in the high 20s, instead of the mid 30s, compared to other places on the same latitude, like Oman in the Middle East, Ghujurat in India or parts of Baja California.

Distance from Africa

The closer to Africa you get, the less influence the Gulf Stream has and the drier it gets. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are the two islands closest to Africa and are the driest, with most of the island desert or semi-desert.

The Mountains

Rain-producing clouds from the Atlantic ocean, blown by the north easterly trade winds, travel up the steep northerly slopes of Tenerife from the sea, where they are forced to rise over the mountains and empty their load. Rainfall normally hits the northern slopes between 600m and 1800m above sea level, which explains why places like La Orotava and Tacorante are so green. This leaves the south-west. The likes of Los Cristianos and Torviscas (lying in the rain shadow) are protected by those mountains and dry and arid. It snows up Teide and the surrounding mountains in the winter months, and yet you can still sunbathe on the beaches.

Tenerife’s topography and diverse landscape was formed by volcanic eruptions and have evolved over time. This, along with the other factors mentioned above – the Gulf Stream, its distance from Africa and the mountains – all play a part in Tenerife’s many microclimates (regional climatic variation). So much so, that you can choose the weather you want and then go after it. With excellent transport here, chasing after the sun has just got a lot easier.

Calima (hot winds)

It is rare, but when the wind comes from the Sahara, east or south-east, temperatures soar and the air and everything around it becomes thick with dust. Although it is not as badly affected as the more eastern Canarian islands, when the calima does come to Tenerife, it can get rather uncomfortable.

Tenerife weather and climate ☀️ Best time to visit 🌡️ Temperature

The largest and most famous Canary Island is Tenerife, with more than 10 million visitors each year. This is also the island with the highest mountain in Spain. The snow-capped mountain El Teide can be seen clearly in good weather from the surrounding islands. The rest of the island consists of tropical forests, volcanic lava areas and beautiful sandy beaches. The capital is Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Tenerife’s weather makes it very popular among sun lovers. The climate is very favorable throughout the year. In the summer the weather is nice with 23°C and in the winter it is still pleasant with 18°C.

The southern part of the island is the most popular. The sun shines here almost every day of every month of the year. On average, the number of hours of sunshine is between 9 and 10 hours a day. It rains only occasionally.

Fine sea water temperature

The average sea water temperature per month in Tenerife is also very nice for swimming. The sea temperature is between 20°C in winter and around 25°C in summer. Famous seaside resorts in Tenerife are Costa Adeje and Playa de las Americas.

Also for hikers almost every month in Tenerife is suitable for activities. Only in the winter period there is a chance of snow in the mountains. The hiking trails in the national park can then sometimes be closed. The coolest months are November through May, but even then it is never cold. And in the middle of summer it can sometimes even be too hot.

Looking for an island with a little more green than Gran Canaria is recommended. If you want to be assured of sunshine, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are the places to go.

Best time to visit Tenerife

Because of its beautiful, warm, and sunny weather, Tenerife is a popular tourist destination all year. Tenerife’s distinct climate is due to the north-eastern trade winds. These collect water vapour above the Atlantic Ocean, climb the Pico del Teide’s northern slopes, and eventually trickle down in fine rain.

Temperatures vary because the Teide serves as a weather divide, separating two microclimates to the north and south.

Tenerife summer holiday

As the weather begins to warm up, the months of May through September are great for visiting the south of Tenerife. It entices visitors with its long, pleasant days and peaceful evenings. Even on the warmest summer days, a delightful cool sea breeze refreshes.

The months of May, June, and October are great for exploring Tenerife’s north and east, as temperatures are mild and no rain is anticipated. Summertime temperatures will be higher in July, August, and September.

The winter season on Tenerife

If you are visiting Tenerife in the winter, it is best to stay in the south. Tenerife’s winters are unusually warm, making it a popular time to visit, particularly in February, when the island hosts the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival. It is the world’s second largest carnival, behind that of Rio de Janeiro, and is great for swimming and sunbathing.

Surfers go to the south coast in the winter to ride the enormous rollers. You may also view long-finned pilot whales and collect oranges in the spring. During the Christmas and Carnival seasons, rooms will be rather pricey.

Climate Tenerife

Tenerife’s climate is ideal for those who like warm weather. In fact, the average temperature in Tenerife is 24 degrees Celsius. Located just off the coast of Africa, Tenerife benefits from its perfect location, giving it a subtropical climate that is warm all year round. It is therefore also a popular destination for winter sun seekers.

Spring (March-May)

Spring in Tenerife is lovely, with temperatures starting to creep towards the mid-20s and plenty of sunshine. The weather is warm but not too hot yet, and flowers are in bloom. This is the perfect time to avoid the heat of summer and explore the island’s many hiking trails and breathtaking scenery.

Summer (June-August)

Tenerife in summer is the busiest time of the year, as tourists flock to the island to enjoy its beautiful beaches and pleasant temperature. The average temperature at this time of year hovers around 28 degrees Celsius. This is the perfect time to enjoy the island’s many beaches or take a dip in the pool.

Autumn (September-November)

Autumn is a milder time of year in Tenerife, with average temperatures of 22-25 degrees Celsius. This makes it an ideal time for visitors who want to avoid the heat and still enjoy all that Tenerife has to offer. The crowds are also reduced at this time of year, giving you more space to enjoy!

Winter (December-February)

The coolest time of year in Tenerife is in winter, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a visit! You’ll be surprised how warm it can still be. Average winter temperatures still hover around 20 degrees Celsius. Plus, there are fewer tourists at this time of year, so you’ll have the island more or less to yourself!

What is the sunniest side of Tenerife?

The south side of the island is the sunniest side of Tenerife. This is because the south side of Tenerife faces Africa, where the sun shines most of the time. In the south, you have an average of 9 hours of sunshine a day in winter and 10 hours of sunshine a day in summer.

Here you will also find some of the island’s best beaches. Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos are two of the most popular tourist destinations, and it’s no wonder why when you see the sparkling turquoise water and soft golden sand.

Ryanair has made sun lovers dreams come true after it announced the return of weekly flights from Ireland West Airport to Lanzarote.

When the route restarts on March 28, 2023, it’ll be the first time it has operated since January 2020 and will surely provide a massive boost for the region.

The weekly service will operate every Tuesday when it resumes.

The Lanzarote route first opened in 2011 and proved to be one of the most popular at Ireland West Airport.

The resumption of Ireland West to Lanzarote is part of Ryanair’s largest ever summer schedule from the airport which will include summer breakaways in Alicante, Barcelona, Faro, Malaga, Milan and Palma Majorca.

“We are delighted to add the always-favourite Lanzarote to our summer 2023 schedule from Ireland West Airport. As our biggest planned summer schedule yet, we’re pleased to bring even more choice and value to our customers in the West, North West and Midlands regions who no doubt are already planning their Summer ’23 getaways to hotspots such as Alicante, Majorca, Milan and Lanzarote, plus many more,” Ryanair’s Jade Kirwan said.

“We are delighted to welcome today’s announcement of the return of our popular Lanzarote service for summer 2023. This has been by far the moist requested service over the last couple of years and we are finally delighted to be able to welcome Lanzarote back to our route network for next summer. This will no doubt be great news for holidaymakers who enjoy the unbeatable year round sun that Lanzarote has to offer and brings to seven, the number of sun destinations now available for our customers next summer. We thank Ryanair for their continued support for the airport and their commitment to the West of Ireland region which is further evidenced by the record summer scheduled planned for summer 2023,” Joe Gilmore, Managing Director for Ireland West Airport said.

90,000 forecast for the heating period: October 2022

09/25/09. 2022

probabilistic forecast of the temperature regime in Russia
for the heating period (October-March) 2022/2023.
(.pdf version)

Probabilistic temperature forecast
in the DNR, LNR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions
for the heating season (October-March) 2022/2023

Introduction

This issue presents maps of forecasts of deviations of the average monthly air temperature from the norm (temperature anomalies) for each month of the heating period. The text of the description of the temperature regime indicates the territories for which, with a certain probability, positive (negative) anomalies of the average monthly temperature are predicted. Italics indicate regions in which this month is expected to be significantly warmer (colder) than the corresponding month of the previous year.
The legend for the map shows the gradations of temperature anomalies “Below normal”, “Near normal”, “Above normal”.
Also in the legend, the probability distributions of the forecast for each gradation are represented by color. Graphically, the probabilities are presented as histograms.
Probabilities are shown on the bars of the histograms (on the left – below the norm, in the center – the norm, on the right – above the norm).
For example, the “Below normal” gradation is predicted if the probability of this gradation is not less than 60%, while the probability of an anomaly of the opposite sign is not more than 15%, and the probability of “About normal” is 25%.

The tables show the norms (average long-term values) of air temperature for each month for the administrative centers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

October 2022

The average monthly temperature is forecast to be above the norm in the northern, central and eastern regions of the Siberian Federal District, in the north of Buryatia and Zabaikalsky Krai, in Yakutia, in the Amur Region and in the Khabarovsk Territory.

November 2022

The average monthly temperature is expected to be above the norm in the north and east of the Siberian Federal District, in the north of Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory, in Yakutia, and in the north of the Khabarovsk Territory.
Lower than in November 2021, the average monthly air temperature is expected in most of the Khabarovsk Territory and in the Amur Region.

December 2022

Above-normal monthly average temperature expected in Taimyr, northeastern Yakutia; below the norm – in most of Chukotka, Kamchatka and the Magadan region, on the Pacific coast of the Khabarovsk Territory.

January 2023

The average monthly air temperature is expected to be above the norm in the north of the Ural and Siberian federal districts, in the northwest of Yakutia.
Lower than in January 2022, the average monthly air temperature is expected in the south of the Siberian Federal District.
