Tenerife Weather in April – Is It a Good Month for a Visit?

The day might start cloudy sometimes in April, but it usually changes towards noon

April can have a bit of a bad reputation when it comes to weather, although it may have more to do with people’s erroneous expectations, than with the actual weather on the island. So what’s the problem then?

Weather in Tenerife in April

April in Tenerife is usually a “transition” month: rain doesn’t happen as often as in the previous months and temperatures tend to go up. Of course, it depends on where you are staying in Tenerife, as the weather can be quite different from coast to coast, so it’s hard to give a general prediction.

Temperatures in Tenerife in April

Temperatures in Tenerife in April are similar between towns and resorts in the south. The north is still not as hot, but the weather is picking up there also and the temperatures slowly start to rise. 

Although you shouldn’t expect extremely high temperatures like in summer, the weather will still be warm enough to sunbathe and get a bit of a tan.

• Average high temperature: 23.1°C  (73.6°F)
• Average low temperature: 16°C  (60.8°F)
• Daily mean temperature: 19.5°C  (67.1°F)

In Tenerife South, the daily mean temperature is 19.5°C in April, which is calculated as a mean between the average high temperature of 23.1°C and the average low of 16°C. As you can see, the temperatures are only slightly higher than they were in March.

Record low & record high temperatures

The highest temperature ever recorded in Tenerife in April (at Tenerife South Airport station) was 35. 6°C and the lowest temperature was 12.2°C.

Sea temperature

• Average sea temperature in April in Playa de Las Americas: 19.6°C / 67.3°F

The average sea temperature is still below 20°C, which may be too cold for many people.

Can you swim in Tenerife in April?

Yes, but it depends on the beach and each person’s preference in regards to sea temperature. We usually go swimming in the south at Playa Las Vistas, but we’ve also been able to swim at Playa Las Teresitas – but this depends on how the seasons are that year. 

Rainfall

Showers

Yes, there’s the chance of showers in April, but the overall chances of rain in Tenerife have dropped considerably compared to the winter months and even to March.

And if it’s only a passing shower, chances are that in a few hours you may be blazing sunshine if you’re staying the South.

Most of the “serious” rain will be happening in the north anyway, so if you book a holiday to the south, chances are you will only get the odd shower mentioned previously. However, days of storms can happen sometimes, and there are days when it’s hard to escape the rain or bad weather. For those days we have a list of suggestions of things to do in Tenerife when it’s raining, so you don’t let this spoil your holiday.

Clouds

Yes, April in Tenerife can be a bit of a cloudy month. But don’t be fooled into not wearing sun cream. The sun is still passing through those clouds and you will get tanned (more like burnt) if you don’t wear sun cream.

How windy is Tenerife?

Tenerife South weather in April

The weather in Tenerife South is usually warm enough in April for sunbathing, although the water may still feel too cold to swim in. It’s the Atlantic Ocean after all. 

Temperatures range in the mid-20s °C during the daytime in the south, so it’s hot enough to sunbathe and spend time on the beach.

Tenerife is not a tropical island, so it’s wrong to expect a tropical climate when coming here on holiday. But the temperatures in the south are pleasant year-round, and April is typically warmer than the previous months.

Los Cristianos & Costa Adeje in April

There are no significant differences between the weather in Los Cristianos and the weather in Costa Adeje in April.

If you’re debating on which one to choose as a destination, choose based on what you find more interesting, not based on meteorological differences. Weather is difficult to predict nowadays with all the climate changes, plus Tenerife is an island easy to navigate, so it’s easy to travel to most places if you want to do some sightseeing during your holiday.

If you find the ocean water is too cold for you to swim in, then most hotels have heated pools, plus there’s Siam Park where the water is heated to a comfortable temperature of 24°C all year round.

How hot is Tenerife in April?

This is the no. 1 question when we are talking about the weather in general, no matter the month of the year.

April in Tenerife brings pleasant temperatures usually well above 20°C in the south of the island.

The temperatures are still far from the summer months when it’s scorching hot. We find that these spring temperatures are pleasant and perfect for enjoying the island.

25°C is hot enough to sunbathe and to swim, especially in a heated pool. This is usually the temperature felt in the sun, although when we look at weather apps the numbers we see there represent the temperature in the shade, so that is why the numbers are lower.

At 23 – 25°C you can spend time out all day long at a perfectly warm temperature, without getting too hot. During July or August it’s hard to withstand the midday heat (at least this is the case for us writing this article, as we find it difficult to stay out in the sun when it’s above 27 – 28°C).  

What to do in Tenerife in April

Go and see the amazing Los Gigantes cliffs. The picture above is from a beautiful April day in Los Gigantes with a view towards the amazing cliffs.

Visit Tenerife National Park.

A cloudy day in Teide National Park in April – sometimes it can be a perfectly sunny weather in Tenerife South and when you go up towards Teide you can encounter this type of weather. It had to do with Tenerife’s micro climates, but we find it’s part of the island’s charm and this place, in particular, looks mysterious in this sort of weather.

Spend a wonderful day at Siam Park and enjoy all the rides in the park

Siam Park in Tenerife South – go there on a sunny day to enjoy it fully. The pools are heated and there are lots of attractions for any age.

Is April a good month to visit Tenerife?

Visit Tenerife in spring and enjoy the beautiful green landscapes

As we said, April is a transition month.

Some of the swallows (temporary residents in Tenerife over the winter period) start to head back home. But in April there are usually more visitors coming over from mainland Spain and the UK for the Semana Santa and Easter. The week or weeks after Easter are a bit quieter in Tenerife, as there’s usually still around a month left until the school holiday begins and families with kids come over.

Tenerife itinerary: 3 days, 7 days and more

We find that April is a perfect month to explore Tenerife without being so worried about the weather or about the overwhelming crowds of tourists that start to arrive from mid-June.

Things to do in Tenerife in April 2023

Owing to the vagaries of when Easter falls, Semana Santa can occur in April in Tenerife too. It’s another month crammed full of events in which you’ll discover there’s more to the Spanish cheese scene than the mainland’s manchego at the Feria del Queso de Canarias in La Orotava’s Pinolere Ethnological Museum and Park, one big visitors’ centre.

If it’s a weekender you’re after, Siam Park’s I Love Music sees superstar DJs whip revellers up to a frenzied level of excitement through the medium of repetitive beats. If it’s smoother sounds you’re looking for, head to NaturaJazz, a Santa Cruz de Tenerife festival which runs into May and artistically combines jazz music with nature photography. The biggest events of this Museo de la Naturaleza y El Hombre-hosted affair take place on Thursdays.

Get your daily bread and more at Arico’s World Bread Fair, Muestra de Panes del Mundo, held towards the end of the month. Get sample with try-before-you-buy breads from across the five continents.

At 7500 meter (24608 feet), it is the fourth highest volcano in the world. Snowbirds can go on cable car rides to the top of this UNESCO world heritage site and experience what it is like to be on what NASA describes as the third-tallest volcanic structure.

Is it humid in Tenerife Spain in April?

A lot of people ask interested in the humidity or relative humidity for Tenerife Spain in April. But the real question they want to ask is not about humidity but the amount of moisture in the air. Or better, about comfort. Will it be comfortable in April in Tenerife, or will high humidity make it uncomfortable.

To answer this question, we have to look at the dew point. Relative humidity can change a lot in Tenerife during the day and night, as it changes when the amount of moisture changes and, but also when the temperature changes. It is a lot less reliable for comfort. Where the dew point only varies with the amount of moisture in the air.

Looking at the dew point, we can see that for the month of April, you can expect that Tenerife will have a low humidty, and will feel very comfortable.

January is the month with the most comfort. It will have dry air, and will feel very comfortable. August is the most uncomfortable month. It will not be very humid, and will feel comfortable. In the graph, you can see that there is some difference between the most comfortable and most uncomfortable months

Is April a good time to go to Tenerife Spain?

Trying to answer the question of whether April is a good time to go to Tenerife is not as easy as it first seems. Some people like colder weather, and others prefer a warmer climate. Some are fine with some humidity, and others are not. If your location has air conditioning, the night temperature is less important.

These are some examples. I will try to answer the question with a more generic person in mind. The more detailed information in this article should be enough to check further if this applies to you as well.

If we look at the average temperature for Tenerife in April, we can see that it will be fine for most people. In April, you can expect it to be really nice, with an average temperature of around 73°F / 23°C. As the humidty is low, it will feel very comfortable. During the night, it will be around 57°F / 14°C.

As the number of overcast days is not high, you can enjoy the sun with around 3 sunny days and 23 partly sunny days.

The last aspect we will look at is rain. You can expect around 2 rainy days, with on average 0.4 inches / 9 mm of rain during April. If it were more than five days, the location would be slightly less attractive for a shorter stay.

We have looked at the average day temperature, the night temperature, humidity, the number of overcast days, and the rain. We think that April a good time to go to Tenerife Spain for most visitors.

Does it rain all day in Tenerife Spain in April?

In Tenerife, it does not rain all day in April. You can expect around 2 rainy days, with on average 0.4 inches / 9 mm of rain during the month.

Another way of looking at the rain is the number of sunny days. For Tenerife Spain, there are, on average 3 sunny days and 23 partly sunny days in April. That clearly shows that it is not raining all the time.

Is April the rainiest month in Tenerife Spain?

April is not the month with the most rainy days, and not the month with the most rain.

To answer what the rainiest month is in Tenerife, we will both look at the month with the most rain, and the month with the highest number of rainy days.

December is the month with the the highest number of rainiest days. On average, you can expect 6 days with rain. July is the month with the lowest number of rainy days, with aproximately 0 days.

December is the month with the most rain. This is not equal as the one with the most rainy days. On average, you can expect 1.3 inches / 32 mm of rain. July is the month with the least amount of rain. This is not the same month as the one with the lowest number of rainy days. You can expect approximately 0 inches / 0 mm of rain.

Is April the most sunniest month in Tenerife Spain?

April is not the month with the most sunny days, not the month with the most partly sunny days, and it is not the month with the lowest number of overcast days.

To answer what the sunniest month is in Tenerife, we will of course look at the month with the most sunniest days, but also look at the month with the biggest number of days that are sunny or partly sunny.

December is the month with the highest number of sunny days. On average, you can expect 3 sunny days, and 23 partly suny days. July is the month with the lowest number of sunny days.

July is the month with the highest number of sunny days and partly sunny days combined. While February is the month with the lowest number of sunny days and partly sunny days combined.

The last thing we will look at is the number of overcast days. July is the month with the lowest number of overcast days. While January is the month with the highest number of overcast days.

The weather on Tenerife for every month of the year

Every week over a five years period we recorded the weather forecast for northern and southern parts of Tenerife as predicted by the Spanish Meteorological Office (AEMet). As part of the report we took a look back at the previous week to see if the weather experts had predicted correctly. In the latter years we also compared the weather to the corresponding week in the previous year.

It was fascinating to note how often the weather varied only slightly for the same months over the years. Of course there were glitches, when the weather did something unpredictable, but overall the pattern varied little from one year to another.

This made us realise that a weekly weather forecast was not only time consuming, it was mostly unnecessary. Despite what ‘barstool experts’ claim, the weather in the Canary Islands is mostly predictable – the default setting is warm and sunny and the difference in temperatures between north and south coasts is not as great as it is sometimes made out. The Canary Islands enjoy what is almost a perfect climate – year round warm weather with just enough rain to keep parts lovely and green. But nowhere is completely perfect.

With that in mind, this is the weather you can expect to find in both the north and south coasts of Tenerife during each month of the year.

Costa Adeje in January

Tenerife weather in January
Despite it being one of our ‘winter’ months, there usually isn’t significant rainfall during January. It’s generally a sunny month in both north and south coasts with daytime shade temperatures in the south falling between 21-23C and in the north 18-22C. Out of the sun it can feel cooler, especially in areas which are more affected by breeze; south and south east. There will be cloudy spells and snow usually falls at some point. However, considering the Canary Islands are in the northern hemisphere and it is the depths of winter, January weather is excellent by comparison with the rest of Europe. Between January and April it can be cool at night, so long sleeves are sensible. On the other hand, some locals wear next to nothing at the all night carnival street parties in February/March.

Snow on Mount Teide in February

Tenerife weather in February
February is one of the months of the year where the weather can change dramatically. It’s a change of season month which means winter and spring can get into a right old tussle. The default setting is sun but it’s one of the cloudiest months and there are often weather alerts for high winds, rainfall and wild seas at some point, usually from mid month onwards. Heavy rain mostly affects the north most, but both north and south experience inclement weather in February. Another common aspect of February weather is heavy snow on Mount Teide, it’s not unusual for roads into Teide National Park to be closed at some point. Saying that, weather alerts don’t last for long, only for a few days at most and daytime shade temperatures in the south are between 20-24C and 18-22C in the north.

The beach at El Medano in March

Tenerife weather in March
The start to March can mirror the end of February on Tenerife; a short spell of wild weather is common at some point as winter gives way to spring. The beginning of March can see the heaviest snows on Teide and hot, sand laden winds from North Africa, calima, can often join the cast of weather conditions. But again these are only for short spells. As the month progresses spring makes its presence felt more and more. Flowers bloom and the mercury rises with daytime shade temperatures in the south ranging from 21-24C and in the north 18-23C.

Spring flowers in Santiago del Teide in April

Tenerife weather in April
Spring brings warmer temperatures, not that they ever get too cold, and less chance of weather alerts. There can be some cloudy spells and rain showers, especially in northern parts whereas southern areas will generally be sunnier but breezier. Daytime shade temperatures range from 22-25C in the south and 19-25C in the north.

The coastal path at Buenavista del Norte in May

Tenerife weather in May
By May the weather on Tenerife becomes really predictable with the south of the island generally enjoying hot and sunny weather and the north also being warm and sunny but with more cloudy spells and still a possibility of rain during the month; although the difference in temperatures isn’t significant. Daytime shade temperatures range from 24-26C in the south and 23-25C in the north.

El Socorro beach in June, north Tenerife

Tenerife weather in June
From June onwards there’s very little rainfall on any coast as summer conditions creep in as the month progresses. In June it’s warm and sunny across the island but in some years the panza del burro (the belly of the donkey) can bring a sea of cloud across the Orotava Valley which, at worst, can hang around till mid-August. What many people who don’t know Tenerife well don’t realise is it doesn’t affect all of ‘the north’ only a small part. For example, Santa Cruz is also in the north of Tenerife but in reality enjoys as much if not more sunshine hours than the south of the island. Daytime shade temperatures range from 24-28C in the south and 22-26C in the north.

Playa del Duque, Costa Adeje, in July

Tenerife weather in July
Summer hits full stride during July on Tenerife and temperatures soar, but not as much as on the Spanish mainland, which brings peninsulares (Spanish mainlanders) to the island in their droves. Tenerife, and Puerto de la Cruz in particular, is one of the top summer destinations for the Spanish. Again it’s a hot and sunny month, unless a year where the donkey has placed his belly above the Orotava Valley. There are regular heatwaves during July when shade temperatures reach the mid 30s, mainly in southern parts, and calima can be a regular visitor, again mainly affecting southern and eastern areas. However, the normal pattern is for daytime shade temperatures to range from 28-30C in the south and 25-28C in the north.

Tenerife weather in August
August is virtually a rerun of July, except hotter. If there has been belly of the donkey weather in the Orotava Valley in the north, he usually trots off around mid-month. This is the month the risk of forest fire is at its highest as the island, not having seen much rain for nearly 3 months, is tinder box dry. It’s another month when calima and heatwaves, principally affecting southern and eastern parts, are common. Daytime shade temperatures range from 28-34C in the south and 26-31C in the north.

The infinity pool at the Palacio de Isora, Alcala, in September

Tenerife weather in September
September is still very much summer on Tenerife. Since we moved to Tenerife more than 12 years ago September has consistently been our favourite month as far as the weather is concerned. Hot, but not too hot and with crystal clear views. There can be some rain, especially towards the end of the month, but on the whole it’s a perfect month weather wise. It’s also a month where the north regularly enjoys better weather than the south. Daytime shade temperatures range from 28-30C in the south and 25-27C in the north.

Garachico in October

Tenerife weather in October
October would be another month where the weather is near perfect, like September. Again, it still feels like summer throughout the month. But the first signs of a change of seasons creeps in toward the end of the month which can often bring short-lived storm strong winds or monsoon-like downpours. Occasionally Tenerife will get its first dusting of snow in October. Most of the time there’s not much of a difference between north and south when it comes to the weather. Daytime shade temperatures range from 26-30C in the south and 24-28C in the north.

High in Vilaflor in November

Tenerife weather in November
November is one of the unpredictable months as it is smack bang in the middle of change of seasons. Wild seas are almost guaranteed but they don’t affect what’s happening on land. Sometimes November can be a glorious month, at others cloud and rain can be a regular feature, mainly in the north. If friends or family hope for a week in the Tenerife sun in November, we tell them to go south, especially south west to the area from Playa San Juan to Los Gigantes where sun is about as guaranteed as you can get. Temperatures across the island are still good with daytime shade temperatures range between 25-27C in the south and 22-25C in the north.

Puerto de la Cruz and the Orotava Valley in December

Tenerife weather in December
The change of seasons settle down by December and although it can rain, it is one of the reliably warm and sunny winter months, in theory anyway. For years we noticed that December weather in the north was regularly sunnier than the south. It was only by analysing the weekly weather for this post that the penny finally dropped as to why that should be. Spanish Met Office records show December is one of the months when calima likes to pay regular visits to the Canary islands, sometimes on a weekly basis. The way calima affects Tenerife is it brings windy, hazy conditions to the east and south, but the island’s high spine acts as a barrier to the low-lying sand cloud sweeping west from North Africa. Subsequently the north isn’t affected in the same way. In December daytime shade temperatures range from 23-25C in the south and 20-24C in the north.

Although this summary of the weather throughout the year on Tenerife replaces our weekly update, there are glitches and when we learn of any weather alerts issued by the Spanish Met Office we will post them on our facebook page.

Although patterns year to year don’t vary significantly, there are additional factors to take into account, such as the difference between temperatures at the coast and at altitude. Our article, 10 tips to understanding the weather on Tenerife is designed to help throw some light on a subject which is the cause for endless debate.

Sea temperature

March is a perfect month to visit Tenerife. The temperature is comfortable both by day and night and the sea is warm enough to swim in. Pack a hoodie and light jacket just in case the night time temperature takes a dip. We’ve looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Tenerife, covering the last 12 years up to 2022, plus we’ve asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Tenerife weather in March.

What’s the temperature like in Tenerife during March?

The temperature is extremely stable in March with average highs of 20℃ and lows just 3℃ lower at 17℃. The UV index will be moderate at this time of year, so not something to worry about for the average person. However, if you’re going to be outside for long periods it’s worth wearing a broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and UV-blocking sunglasses. Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand increase UV exposure.

Does it rain in Tenerife during March?

On average, there will be 4 rainy days during the month, amounting to 1.8mm in total. That’s almost nothing at all, therefore rain isn’t something we think you need to consider. You’re not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.

How warm is the sea in Tenerife during March?

The water around Tenerife is around 19℃ during March. It will feel a little on the cool when first entering, but you’ll warm up quickly. Most kids will have no problem with this temperature, but those who feel the cold are unlikely to want to swim.

About your travel guide

Hi! I’m Dev. I’ve traveled all over the world and in my travels, I have made many packing lists. In this series, my team and I have compiled the most useful information, as well as things we couldn’t live without, to help you plan your trip.

When to go to Tenerife, Spain

Based on the climate and weather in Tenerife, the best time to go is August. However, this is also the peak of the tourist season, so exect huge crowds.

If you go in the shoulder season (April-May or September-October), you will still experience good weather, but with fewer crowds. Or you can go in February/March for the Carnival of Santa Cruz.

Also, note that the climate depends on where in the island you plan to go. The south has great beach weather nearly all year, but the north can be cooler and have more weather changes.

Important essentials for Tenerife, Spain

Here are some general tips on what to wear in Tenerife, as well as several items to remember to pack when traveling there.

IMPORTANT COVID-19 ESSENTIALS

• N95 masks are not available for kids. These are a good alternative (and can also be used by adults if N95 masks are not available).

• Vaccine cards often get worn. An unreadable card can cause severe consequences. This vaccine card protector helps stop that.

• This hand sanitizer is an excellent TSA-friendly product.

• Use these to sanitize plane and hotel surfaces.

• A touchless thermometer is important to have.

• These N95 masks provide the best level of protection available.

Other health necessities

• Some rural areas may have potentially unsafe tap water, so it’s useful to have an emergency water purifier like this one.

• This one is a good value.

• U.S. residents can get them free here. Otherwise, you can buy them here.

• • Pills
  • Wristband

Don’t forget these

• • cell phone photography gimbal
  • camera drone for outdoor shots
  • extra batteries
  • extra memory cards

• A portable power bank, like this one

• A plug adapter that supports outlet types C and F. This one should work in most areas, but you should check with your hotel.

• • our favorite compact travel stroller
  • our favorite featherweight travel crib
  • a safe travel bed for toddlers
  • travel hook on chair
  • a ride on suitcase we love for boys
  • a ride on suitcase we love for girls
• • our favorite airplane pillow
  • a great inflatable travel pillow
  • a luggage lock
  • entertainment

• A SIM card that works in Tenerife. A good global SIM card works in most countries, but check the country list before buying.

• Pickpocketing is an issue here, so wear a money pouch.

Activities for Tenerife, Spain

Here are some activity recommendations and activity-specific packing tips for Tenerife.

If you plan to do more than lounge on the beach, you’re likely to see El Teide, the active volcano which is a UNESCO heritage site. There are also other volcanoes amidst the beautiful national parks in Tenerife. Going to these requires lots of walking and trekking. Bring these:

• Like this, so you don’t have to lug around a heavy suitcase.

  • for men

water and air temperature by months

Tenerife is called the island of eternal spring for a reason. Mild and comfortable weather allows you to relax all year round, even in winter. It is not too hot here in summer, and there is no rainy season in winter.

However, you need to understand that the weather on the island varies significantly depending on the specific location. How to choose the right place and time to relax in Tenerife, is it possible to swim in winter, where to find snow and much more, read the article below.

CONTENTS

Tenerife climate features

The varied terrain of Tenerife’s volcanoes and mountains has created many climatic zones on the small island. According to different assessment methods, there are from 4 to 28 such zones. What does this mean for a tourist? In practice, this means that at the same time in different places on the island the weather will vary significantly.

On the beaches of the southern part of Tenerife it is sunny and warm, on the north coast there is a strong wind and frequent rains, in the mountains at an altitude of up to 1000-1500 meters it is humid and cool, and above 2000 meters it is very dry and rather cold. And all this diversity fits on a small island, so Tenerife is often called a continent in miniature.

Advice: if you are caught in Tenerife by bad weather, do not rush to get upset. Take a ride to other resorts – with a probability of 95% you will find a sunny and warm place. You can just wait, the wind will disperse the clouds, and the weather will improve. The weather can change quite quickly, literally in half an hour or an hour. This is especially true in winter.

The most significant difference in weather between the northern and southern parts of the island, separated by mountains and volcanoes. Northeast winds bring strong waves and clouds to the north coast of Tenerife. It is much colder here than on the south coast, and it is comfortable to sunbathe and swim only during the warm period, from June to October.

The south coast is much drier and warmer, because high mountains hold back rain clouds and wind. The vegetation here is much less than in the north, but the beach season lasts all year round.

At the same time, the air temperature in Tenerife during the year fluctuates very slightly, no more than 10 ºС. Therefore, the weather changes insignificantly and very smoothly.

The water temperature in Tenerife varies even less, and averages 22 ºС.

For your convenience, I have grouped the information on the weather in Tenerife by regions, as the temperature varies significantly in different resorts.

Weather in the south of Tenerife: air and water temperature by months

The most popular among travelers from Russia, the south of Tenerife gives sunny and warm weather all year round. In summer there is no sweltering heat, and in winter it is warm enough for a beach holiday. The water temperature allows you to swim all year round, although in summer it is much warmer than in winter.

An important tip: Tenerife is close to the equator, so the activity of the sun is very high. You can get burned even in cloudy weather: you yourself will not notice how you blush. Be careful: monitor the UV index, use hats and sunscreen.

In the southern part of the island of Tenerife are the main resorts: Las Americas, Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos. These resorts are close enough to each other, so the climate is very similar.

Daytime temperature does not fall below 20 ºС throughout the year. The coldest months are January, February and March. The warmest months are July, August and September.

The warmest water is from August to October, when the temperature does not fall below 23 ºС. You can swim at any time, but with a reservation. The coldest water from February to April is just over 19ºС, during this period you can swim during the day, when the water warms up better.

Weather in the west of Tenerife: air and water temperatures by months

similar to south coast resorts. Personally, I like the weather in the west even more. Winters are less windy, less rainy and more sunny.

Air and water temperature in the west of Tenerife by months on the graph

Weather in the north of Tenerife: air and water temperature by months

The northern coast of Tenerife is very different in climate from the southern one. The main resort is Puerto de la Cruz. If we compare just the temperature “on the forehead”, then the difference is not so obvious. However, in real life this difference is felt very strongly.

In the north, strong winds are not uncommon, and in winter the wind brings rain clouds. The sun is hiding behind the clouds, it is drizzling, and even at plus 20 ºС there is no time for swimming.

However, if you’re not here just for the beaches and the sun, there are many interesting places to visit in the northern part. There is amazing nature (thanks to humidity and rain!), cozy historical towns and magnificent landscapes.

Weather in the east of Tenerife: air and water temperatures by months southern resorts. The water temperature is almost the same. At the same time, a strong wind often blows here, waves rise, so swimming is not always comfortable. But it’s just a paradise for surfers.

Weather in Santa Cruz de Tenerife: air and water temperature by months

The capital of Tenerife, the city of Santa Cruz, is located very close to the Anaga mountains, which causes a special microclimate. It is somewhat cooler here than in the south. But you can enjoy the architecture and parks of the capital at a comfortable temperature.

Tip: the temperature on Las Teresitas beach, which is literally 10-15 minutes from Santa Cruz, can be several degrees higher than in the capital. You should definitely come to the beach: there is magnificent white sand, and the water in the fenced bay warms up well.

When is the best time to relax in Tenerife

It is believed that the best time of the year to relax in Tenerife is September and October. I fully agree with this, but with an important caveat. Tenerife is a great place to relax at any time of the year!

Tenerife weather forecast: why you can’t trust it

When you search for “Tenerife weather”, most sites show information and forecast for the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which is located in the northeast of the island, far from the main resorts. It is much colder there than on the south and west coasts. However, an uninformed tourist, seeing such a forecast, may get the wrong idea about the real situation in the resorts.

Hence the advice: look at the weather forecast not for all of Tenerife, but for a specific resort or region. The query “weather in Costa Adeje” will show the weather on the south coast much more accurately, unlike the query “weather in Tenerife”.

For convenience, added widgets with the current weather and water temperature in Tenerife.

Calima

Strong wind during sandstorms in the Sahara transports huge amounts of sand and dust across the ocean. A significant part settles in the ocean and on other islands of the Canary archipelago, but even what reaches Tenerife is enough for a sharp change in the weather. The sky is covered with a dusty haze, the temperature rises quickly, there is not enough fresh air. This phenomenon, characteristic of all the Canary Islands, is called Kalima.

Kalima is unpredictable, but happens no more than 5-6 times a year, and lasts an average of 2-4 days. You should not be afraid of it, especially since dust often does not reach the most popular resorts.

However, there are exceptions. For example, at the end of February 2020, there was a real sandstorm in Tenerife. It was the strongest Kalima in the last 5 years. Watch the video.

Once again I would like to emphasize that such phenomena do not happen often, so you should not worry about possible Kalima.

Snow on Tenerife

Snow on Mount Teide often falls in winter

Snow is rare in Tenerife, but it does happen. In winter, the slopes of Mount Teide are covered with snow. Sometimes snow falls in Las Cañadas del Teide, when tourists and locals tend to look at the snowdrifts, go sledding and throw snowballs. At the same time, the Teide National Park itself is completely transformed: from the Martian landscape to a harsh snowy view. And all this is very close and accessible. From the warm coast with a temperature of about 24 ºC to the snowy peak can be reached in just an hour and a half. If you are in Tenerife in winter, be sure to visit the volcano. Just don’t forget warm clothes.

what time of the year and where, in what month

Holidays in Tenerife are famous for their loyalty. At any time of the year you can visit the island and find there moderate, warm weather. When asked when it is better to go to Tenerife, you can answer in one word – always! The unique resort is open to its tourists all year round and has only a few seasonal features, which we will talk about.
Conditionally, rest on the island is divided into northern and southern. Swimming in the warm ocean and tanning under the sun is the prerogative of southern Tenerife. There are a large number of municipal and ecologically clean beaches, where payment is made only for additional services, such as a beach umbrella, sunbed, entertainment, etc. The best holiday on the beaches of Tenerife with children, of course, is in ecologically clean areas. Such beaches are marked with a special flag of the ecological association. Crystal clear sand and clear water quickly become boring for tourists, so that it is problematic to refuse or wean from such pleasure later.

North Tenerife is not intended for a beach holiday. The weather there is not much colder than the southern part of the island, but swimming in the ocean is sometimes impossible. Strong waves and a rocky bottom make a beach holiday here unsafe. In northern Tenerife, tourists are more drawn to exotic sensations. Look at the old Canarian architecture, communicate with the indigenous people, relax in the cozy restaurants of the ocean promenade, learn more about the island’s legends first hand… Puerto de la Cruz, the main resort of the north, is demanding for people who prefer an intellectual, measured rest. You can get to this part of the island only with transfers, direct flights from Russia come only to the southern airport.

It is important to note that the northern airport, located near Puerto de la Cruz, operates only during the daytime. Flights do not depart from it at night. This is useful information for those who are going to visit both parts of the island in a few days.

Climate Tenerife

While neighboring Morocco is hot, Tenerife has more predictable and stable weather due to the northeast trade winds that blow from the Atlantic. Thanks to this wind, the sky is usually cloudless over the Canary Islands.

The weather in Tenerife can be affected by dust storms that come from the Sahara when the prevailing wind direction changes. Tenerife is characterized by the so-called Kalima – these are small particles of sand in the air. They can make breathing difficult, so it’s best not to leave the hotel at this time. Such weather in Tenerife is rare and passes quickly.

Weather in Tenerife in March

Let’s tell the truth! The climate is mild, and the weather depends on the sun and cloud cover. For those looking for an unforgettable experience off the beach, we recommend visiting Tenerife before or after the Spanish Easter holiday. So you will not get to the peak of prices and bypass the crowds of Spanish tourists from the continent. It is worth counting on a tan, but objectively not on swimming.

In March, it’s great to hike in the Teno and Anaga mountains, the meadows and the middle uplands. Wildflowers, alpine forbs and gentle sun.

The air temperature in Tenerife in March rarely exceeds +26 degrees, but does not fall below +14 degrees at night. Precipitation falls at the level of 40 mm: rain is frequent in the north, and rare in the south.

The ocean water temperature around Tenerife in March is 16-18 degrees. On sunny days, walruses or the most desperate tourists can swim.

Regional differences

Like the other Canary Islands, the weather in Tenerife is clearly defined between north and south. Mount Teide is a dormant volcano in the middle of the island and divides it into two halves. In the north, the climate is more humid and cool, so fewer tourists come here. In the south there is more sun, higher temperatures, less winds and less cloudiness. As a result, the south of Tenerife has a hotter climate.

Different spring in north and south

The island consists of 4 altitudinal zones, which are separated by a high ridge that holds back clouds. What does it mean? In different places in Tenerife, the weather, temperature and precipitation are very different from each other. Sometimes 10 degrees! O_o

First you need to clearly understand that the temperature on the island is very different, it is always colder in the north. Therefore, if you want to relax in Tenerife in March, April or May, then choose the southern resorts. How to choose a holiday resort in Tenerife is written here.

Tenerife is called the island of “eternal spring”, due to the fact that there are no pronounced seasons of heat, rains and other unpleasant periods. Tenerife differs from mainland Spain in its mild climate and warm winters.

But even in summer it is cool in the mountains of Anaga. That’s what the Canary Islands are good for: at a time when the Teide volcano is covered with snow, tourists sunbathe on the shore in Las Americas and Los Cristianos.

The weather on the island of Tenerife becomes warmer at the end of February. On average, in April – March, the air temperature in Tenerife reaches 24 degrees Celsius. In the spring, rains practically stop in the south, although they are extremely rare in winter. The duration of a sunny day increases to ten hours.

During the day the air is warm, and even hot in the sun, at night it is chilly and warm clothes are needed. On the east coast, winds blow, making the temperature colder. Therefore, if you are not a kiter or windsurfer, then living in El Medano and Las Galletas in the spring is not worth it.

Summer weather in Tenerife

During the 6 months from May to October, the average daytime temperature in Tenerife is +25 degrees. At this time, a small amount of precipitation, pleasant heat, which is easily tolerated. This is facilitated by low humidity, which remains constant throughout the year. A light breeze blows from the sea, which helps to cope with the heat in summer. When Kalima begins, the temperature may rise. In the summer in Tenerife the sun shines 9hours a day.

When to go and how to choose a place?

Tenerife with its climatic features is suitable for year-round recreation. If the trip is planned with children, then the best time for a comfortable stay will be the summer and autumn months.

It doesn’t rain, which is good. Summer passes without sultry suffocation. The air temperature remains comfortable even for children and pensioners. During the day it is not higher than +26, the water in the sea is quite warm within +22 … +25.

Winter and spring months are also suitable for a family trip, but it is better to choose the south coast with smaller waves. Although for connoisseurs of such a sport as surfing, this advice is not useful.

Tenerife (monthly weather can vary significantly on different coasts) is an island where those who come with children need to be very careful. Most beaches are equipped with wave protection, breakwaters, which is ideal even for swimming during big waves and strong gusts of wind.

August and September are the time when Tenerife is crowded with vacationers, while October is more calm for holidays, and the weather and water temperature are identical for summer and autumn.

Tenerife is a magical island with amazing nature, picturesque green spaces and a volcanic landscape. It will be interesting to look at the opening view not only for adults, but also for children.

Tenerife attractions

The colorful island of Tenerife is known for its unique architectural, historical and natural attractions. Excursion trips include visits to various museums, acquaintance with the local culture and mentality of the inhabitants.

In the east of Tenerife there is one cultural and historical site. These are the pyramids of Guimar. What is the purpose of their construction? Even today they cannot give an answer. The material for the construction of structures was the material after the solidification of the lava. “Bricks” were stacked one on top of the other, and at the same time they did not strengthen anything else.

After visiting the mysterious pyramids, you should visit the old castle, whose name is San Miguel. It is located in a picturesque place and emotional interesting performances are played for guests. The castle was built for the purpose of holding tournaments for knights and theatrical performances.

For connoisseurs of natural beauty, it is necessary to visit the town of Icod de los Vinos, where you can admire the famous Dragon Tree (“Dracaena draco”), resembling a large cactus. Its age is more than 3000 years.

Undoubtedly, the main attraction created by nature and the eternal symbol of the island is the Teide volcano. Absolutely everyone can walk along the incredibly beautiful Martian slopes. Not far from the volcano stretched unusually bewitching National Park.

The Tenerife Auditorium can be attributed to the historical and cultural object, where musical events are organized at a good level. The only masterpiece of its kind is the Pueblo Chico Park (“Pueblo Chico”), where various models of the most interesting objects of the Canary Islands are concentrated.

Spring is the time to observe the local nature

Briefly describe the spring in the Canary archipelago as follows: richness of colors and brightness of aromas in perfect weather. In the spring, it makes sense to come to Tenerife to engage in outdoor activities and go on sightseeing tours: you can climb to the top of Teide, go on a boat trip in the ocean to watch whales.

Let’s see how the water temperature and the weather in Tenerife change by months in spring.
