weather by month, temperature, precipitation, when to go

In El Hierro, the smallest and south-westernmost of the Canary Islands, the climate is subtropical oceanic on the coast, that is, very mild and sunny most of the year, with rainfall concentrated from October to March. In contrast, the climate in the interior varies according to altitude and slope exposure: the slopes exposed to the northeast trade winds (namely, the northern and eastern ones) receive a moderate amount of rainfall and are green, while in the rest of the island (that is, along the coasts and in the south), rainfall is scarce and the landscape is arid.

El Hierro is a volcanic island, in fact, there are several volcanic craters and areas with lava soil. The highest peak is Pico Malpaso, 1,501 meters (4,925 feet) high.

The prevailing winds, the north-east trade winds, cause mists and clouds on the slopes exposed, while they temper the heat along the coast during the summer. The trade winds blow with greater intensity in the afternoon, when they are often moderate or even quite strong.

In the capital, Valverde, which is located in a slope at about 600 meters (2,000 feet) above sea level, temperatures are spring-like most of the year: cool (or even a little cold) in winter and pleasantly warm in summer, as you can see in the following table.

Valverde – Average temperatures

Year	14.2	20.1	17.1	57.5	68.2	63

Along the coasts, temperatures are higher, and are very mild in winter and warm in summer. In addition to being the smallest, El Hierro is the mildest of the Canary Islands, in fact, lows are slightly higher and highs slightly lower than in the other islands of the archipelago.

Here are the average temperatures of the airport, which is located on the coast, east of Valverde.

The temperature generally tends to stay around the average, however, from December to March, there can be some cool days, with highs below 20 °C (68 °F). On the coldest days of the year, which typically occur in February, the temperature typically drops to 13/14 °C (55/57 °F) at night, while the maximum remains around 18/19 °C (64/66 °F). In January 1981, the temperature dropped to 8 °C (46. 5 °F), but after the year 2000 the cold record is 10.5 °C (51 °F), recorded in March 1993 and 2011.

On the other hand, the days of calima, characterized by abnormal heat and light wind, due to hot air masses from Africa, are relatively rare, and are more frequent in spring and summer: in practice, these are the only days when the temperature exceeds 30 °C (86 °F) and the heat is unpleasant.

However, here and in La Palma, the heat is felt less often and with less intensity than in the other Canary Islands because of the greater distance from the African continent. On the hottest days of the year, the temperature typically reaches 30/32 °C (86/90 °F). At the airport, the heat record is only 34 °C (93 °F), recorded in October 1983.

On the coast, the rains are definitely scarce: at the airport, they amount to just 200 mm (8 in) per year. Here is the average precipitation.

The amount of sunshine is very good throughout the year, however, in addition to the low pressure systems that can pass over the island from October to March, cloud banks can form in summer on the Atlantic Ocean and then affect the island. On the northern coasts, and especially on the mountain slopes exposed to the north, local clouds and fogs can form. The southern coast is therefore the sunniest one.

Here are the average daily sunshine hours at the airport, which, being on the northeast coast, is a little less sunny than the southern coast.

The sea in El Hierro is quite cold in winter, though not prohibitively, while it is warm enough for swimming from August to October. The island is located at a low latitude, a bit north of the Tropic of Cancer, but as mentioned, a cold current flows in this area of the Atlantic Ocean, though the bulk of it flows along the coast of Morocco, so in this western part of the Canaries, the sea is slightly warmer. The sea temperature ranges from 19 °C (66 °F) between February and April to 24 °C (75 °F) in September. Here are the average sea temperatures.

Best Time

The best time for a beach holiday in El Hierro is from May to mid-October. In the first period (May-June), the air temperature is a bit lower and the sea is a bit colder, but the days are slightly longer. In the Canaries, the days in summer are shorter than in Europe (while they are longer in winter), but owing to the time zone adopted, the sun sets late enough anyway.

If you want to visit cities or to go on excursions to the interior, you can choose April, May, and the first half of October.

In winter, you can appreciate the mild temperatures and can often sunbathe, although we can not exclude some days of bad weather.

What to pack in the suitcase

In winter: bring light clothes for the day, a sweater and a jacket for the evening, and possibly a raincoat or umbrella. When going mountain climbing, bring a down jacket and hiking shoes.

In summer: bring summer clothes, but also a scarf for the wind, a light sweatshirt, and a light jacket for the evening and windy afternoons. When going mountain climbing, bring hiking shoes, a sweater and a light jacket.

Canary Islands Weather in November

A glorious November sky in Lanzarote, on the West coast

In November, when the weather starts to get cold almost all over Europe, the Canary Islands still enjoy a mild climate, with temperatures above 20°C, long sunny days and water warm enough for swimming in the ocean.

Should you come on holiday to the Canary Islands in November?

If you’re looking for a sunny break in November, the Canary Islands might be the best choice in terms of weather, especially if you are traveling from Europe.

Although November is considered a transition month in terms of weather conditions, as the climate makes the change from autumn to winter, the weather stays generally warm, except for a few days of rain or storm, which may hit the archipelago. But although the weather can be moody and tricky sometimes in November, it will still be much warmer and better than back home in the UK or anywhere else on the continent.

Weather in the Canary Islands in November

As the weather changes from autumn to winter, you can expect more precipitation in the northern part of the mountainous islands, like Tenerife, La Palma and Gran Canaria, while the south stays fairly dry and sheltered from precipitation.

So for Gran Canaria and Tenerife, we recommend that you stay somewhere in the south of the island, where you have the best chances for sunny weather. This is also the case for Lanzarote, where it tends to rain more in the area of Haria, a valley that looks lovely green after a few days of rain.

Even in La Palma, the south will generally see less precipitation than the mountain regions, but since the main reason to head over to La Palma are the volcanoes and the hiking opportunities they offer, you may still want to choose your accommodation based on what you plan to do during your holiday there.

Temperatures in the Canary Islands in November

Below you can see the average temperatures for the island during the month of November. But do keep in mind that especially in Tenerife and Gran Canaria the weather in the south is warmer than in the north during the colder months.

Tenerife

Average high temperature: 23°C (73. 4°F)

Average low temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Daily mean: 20°C (68°F)

Gran Canaria

Average high temperature: 24°C (75.2°F)

Average low temperature: 18°C (64.4°F)

Daily mean: 21°C (69.8°F)

Lanzarote

Average high temperature: 24°C (75.2°F)

Average low temperature: 17°C (62.6°F)

Daily mean: 21°C (69.8°F)

Fuerteventura

Average high temperature: 24°C (75.2°F)

Average low temperature: 18°C (64.4°F)

Daily mean: 21°C (69. 8°F)

As you can see, the values for temperatures in the Canary Islands in November are relatively similar between the largest and most visited islands in the archipelago.

Rainfall

Are the Canary Islands rainy in November? And how much rain should you expect?

Tenerife – Average rainfall (mm): 47 mm

Gran Canaria – Average rainfall (mm): 32 mm

Lanzarote – Average rainfall (mm): 15 mm

Fuerteventura – Average rainfall (mm): 12 mm

Although Tenerife seems to get the largest amount of rain in November, this usually happens in the north of the island, and less often in the south.

Sea temperature

How warm is the ocean water in the month of November and are there big differences between the islands?

Tenerife – Average sea temperature: 22.3°C (72.1°F)

Gran Canaria – Average sea temperature: 22.1°C (71.7°F)

Lanzarote – Average sea temperature: 21.2°C (70.1°F)

Fuerteventura – Average sea temperature: 21.2°C (70.1°F)

Can you swim in the Canary Islands in November?

Yes, with an average temperature above 21°C, the water is still warm enough for swimming.

In Gran Canaria and Tenerife, we recommend the beaches in the south, while in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura there are no big differences between north and south. In general, there are big differences between the east coast and the west coast, with the west coast being better for surfers and other water sports, and not so great for swimming, due to the strong currents.

Storms and weather hazards in November

In the Canary Islands, November is usually the month when there’s a noticeable shift in weather and violent storms can occur sometimes.

November 19, 2018 – A big wave destroyed a balcony off an apartment building in Tenerife North

A powerful storm has hit the north of Tenerife on November 19th, 2018, when a huge wave completely ripped off a balcony from a building in Mesa del Mar (Tacoronte). The phenomenon that occurred then is known as “mar de fondo” and is generated by low polar pressure and it usually occurs in the northwest part of the islands. This type of big swell is not common for the south of the islands, where the weather it’s usually much dryer than in the north.

November 2005 – Tropical Storm Delta

Tropical Storm Delta is considered a historical event in the Canary Islands and it took place in November 2005. The archipelago is not commonly affected by tropical cyclones, so this isn’t something that usually happens in the islands.

The Canaries were gravely hit and even 19 lives were lost due to the storm (18 people lost their lives on a boat that sank during the storm). The peak gust of 152 km/h was recorded on La Palma, while in Tenerife the peak wind speed was 147 km/h. The islands of La Palma and Tenerife were the hardest hit.

Should you come on holiday to the Canary Islands in November?

In our opinion, yes.

But we love coming to the Canaries during any month, no matter the weather, rain or shine, because we really love these islands.

If you’re looking for HOT weather, then November might not be what you are looking for.

If you’re expecting sunny days, with T-shirt weather during the daytime, then you will probably love it here.

Keep in mind that in November, the weather in the Canary Islands gets chilly at night, so you may want to bring a cardigan with you, or maybe even a light jacket.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The perceived humidity level in Cueva del Hierro, as measured by the percentage of time in which the humidity comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable, does not vary significantly over the course of the year, remaining a virtually constant 0% throughout.

Methodology

For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.

Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.

Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0.04 inches of precipitation or more.

Our tourism temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 50°F, rising linearly to 9 for 65°F, to 10 for 75°F, falling linearly to 9 for 80°F, and to 1 for 90°F or hotter.

Our beach/pool temperature score is 0 for perceived temperatures below 65°F, rising linearly to 9 for 75°F, to 10 for 82°F, falling linearly to 9 for 90°F, and to 1 for 100°F or hotter.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).

The growing season in Cueva del Hierro typically lasts for 5.6 months (174 days), from around May 4 to around October 25, rarely starting before April 6 or after May 23, and rarely ending before October 5 or after November 14.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Cueva del Hierro.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Cueva del Hierro according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at Cueva del Hierro is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Cueva del Hierro and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

Madrid–Torrejón Airport (LETO, 60%, 74 mi, west, -2,356 ft elevation change)
Zaragoza United States Air Force Operated Base In Foreign Country (LEZA, 40%, 91 mi, northeast, -3,517 ft elevation change)

LETO, 60%74 mi, -2,356 ftLEZA, 40%91 mi, -3,517 ft

To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Cueva del Hierro and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source’s contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.

Other Data

All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.

All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.

Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.

We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.

weather on the Canary Islands in November 2018

Canary Islands, Gran Canaria – Review :

Canary Islands, Gran Canaria — review

The Canary Islands have always been a symbol of luxury holidays for me. Usually people of advanced age and a stable social position say: this summer I rested in the Canary Islands. Therefore, having lived to almost 40 years, I did not even think about such a journey.

I was motivated by the fact that my daughter somehow spent the entire November holidays at home! outside the window was either rain or sleet, peers were sitting at home. My daughter categorically refused to go to the Hermitage for the 50th time. Why am I not a mother, but some kind of viper?! I decided that this will never happen again!

The search for a resort has begun: so that in November, so that it is not expensive, so that Europe with European comfort and products, an inexpensive rented apartment.

Only the Canary Islands were found, where people still swim in November, and specifically, Gran Canaria is the warmest and less popular island. However, the search in airsales upset – the cheapest ticket cost 33 tons – that is, for three 100 tons tickets alone – a bit too much.

Then, after a long search, another option came up. A ticket of the budget company AirBaltic St. Petersburg – Riga – Milan and back was found for 120 euros (50 + 70), a ticket from Milan – Gran Canaria and back of Raynair airlines was 100 euros (50 + 50). Total 220 euros per person. Better than 500, especially if there are three of you. We save about 740 euros. We will spend them on a hotel in Riga – there is no way without it – a room for three and a taxi from the airport and back – 80 euros. You can stay in Milan (Bergamo is a suburb of Milan where Raynair flights arrive) – 100 euros: room, bus, magic pizzas).

So we arrived in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. There is nowhere without a car. Rented apartments may end up on a mountain and then going to the beach will seem like hell to you (that is, returning). A car from CICAR for 10 days costs 150 euros. It’s cheap to rent a car in Gran Canaria – the island, no one steals, there is no busy traffic. There are 400 euros left – they need to rent an apartment for 10 days. It is better to do this in January if you are going to go in November. For half a year, prices will already be higher – about 500 euros for three for 10 days (for example, Apartamentos Miriam in Puerto Rico 530 euros).

I choose apartments either in Puerto Rico, or in Amadores, or in Taurito, or in Puerto Mogan, or in Maspalomas. This is the warmest side of the island. Las Palmas would not recommend. It is windy there, and the city with sailors is not very calm. And it’s better to swim on Taurito – living there has become expensive now, and the beach is the warmest on the island (small, with volcanic sand, closed from the wind). Water 23 degrees, air 25-30. Very comfortable!

Gasoline and groceries remain. You don’t need a lot of gas. Buck will stop going to the beach and shopping. The roads are great. There is a brand new autobahn. Products cost the same as ours, only much better. The wine is excellent, the cheeses are a great choice. Cooking is a pleasure. Fresh fish is not cheap, but you can buy shrimp. Fruit selection is not great. We eat chicken, eggs, spaghetti and wine and cheese.

There are some important notes: in low-cost airlines you have to pay for luggage. We travel light – we buy toothpaste and shampoos there. I also know a couple of languages - so at least English is needed for a solo traveler.

This option is more likely for those who are either tourists or students at heart and are not afraid of difficulties. In any case, buying tickets and booking apartments on booking.com takes time. Profitable options must be caught.

Weather in Tenerife in November

Weather forecast for November 2019The year in Tenerife is very encouraging – 23-26°C, sunny, water temperature 21-23°C. However, in reality, the November climate of the Canary Islands is more capricious and full of surprises.

Thus, thirty-year-old traveler Yulia from Jurmala is sure:

“In November in Tenerife, you can get an excellent tan: even, soft and long. But swimming in the sea is not for everybody… I was cold.” And 25-year-old Igor writes: “At the end of November, the water temperature was 23°C, the air temperature was as much as 28-29°C and there was almost no rain. During the day it was amazing to swim, but in the morning and in the evenings it was not very good. In general, this period is quite comfortable, although there are exceptions.”

Experienced tourists are advised to read the forecast in advance, but regardless of them, stock up on an umbrella (or better, a reliable and proven raincoat, because strong winds are not uncommon on the island) and sunblock. The weather in Tenerife is changeable: in the morning the sun can bake, and in the afternoon it will rain with the wind.

Tenerife weather forecast for November 2019.

If the water temperature of 20+ degrees doesn’t scare you, then the joy of swimming will be available to you. But it is worth putting a bigger and warmer towel on the shore near the water itself – it may not be very comfortable to go out. Vacationers with children are better off not risking a late swim, but choosing a hotel with a heated pool or staying at other entertainment.

Holidays in the Canary Islands for many begin with Tenerife South International Airport, located, as the name implies, in the south of the island. It was opened in 1978 by Queen Sophia of Spain herself.

Stock of clothes

For a November holiday in Tenerife, it is recommended to take with you:

Swimsuit. Sunny and warm days are no exception.
Shorts, light trousers and T-shirts, T-shirts. In these clothes it is convenient to go to the beach and walk around the island. Dresses and skirts with flowing hem are not recommended – wind and rain can destroy all the pleasure of wearing beautiful, but uncomfortable clothes.

Jacket, jacket, cardigan, windbreaker. Outerwear should be light weight, warm well, easy to put on / take off. It is recommended to take it with you at any time of the day – the weather can bring unpleasant surprises.
Low-heeled sandals, slates, sandals, ballet flats, sneakers. Shoes should be comfortable for walking on sandy beaches and city streets, dry quickly and light.

Evening dresses and suits may also be useful. Especially if you like late walks along the embankments and going to restaurants. In November, Tenerife hosts festivals and carnivals, street concerts and performances.

And if you are planning a holiday at the end of October or beginning of November, then take a carnival costume with you, or at least think it over. October 31 – November 1 Halloween is celebrated in the Canary Islands: mass festivities take place, little vampires and witches scurry everywhere, and ominous pumpkins look out of almost every window.

Lively emotions and stories or stories of experienced people

Holidays in Tenerife in November involve a large number of excursions and hiking. Let’s find out what reviews are left by those who have already visited the island.

Fairy (young girl vacationing with a friend):

“The November holidays in Tenerife turned out to be very successful. We were lucky with the weather: the sun was shining, the water was pleasant. We decided to pre-book a car rental and pick up excursions and made the right decision – it was almost impossible to do it on the spot (high prices + limited number of offers). I really enjoyed the trip to Tenerife Pearl. We bought jewelry made of pearls, however, artificial ones. Impressed by Siam Park, Jungle Park and Water Park. But be prepared for the fact that some of the rides and pavilions close 2-3 hours earlier than the main area. You can also buy souvenirs and memorabilia there. I regretted that I didn’t stock up on a tracksuit and sneakers – they would be very useful for long walks. ”

Oleg (faithful husband and father of two children):

“We planned to spend all the autumn holidays on the beach, but the children quickly got tired of it and had to come up with an active program. We visited many parks – we rented a car and a Russian-language navigator. Group tours were immediately abandoned – their time is limited and there is no way to see everything you want. You have to go around the parks almost running. The cable car was very impressive – the cost of entertainment is 24 euros for adults and 12 for children. But the visit is worth the money: the beauty is so breathtaking. Even photos can not convey it fully.

Ekaterina (was in Tenerife on her honeymoon with her husband):

“It was cold to swim, the wind blew almost all the time. Great weather for surfers, but not for the average holidaymaker. The nature is impressive, but about 7-10 days are enough to travel around the island and visit all the significant sights. There are a large number of pensioners in hotels and throughout the resort area. It’s nice, of course, but not the best company for a young couple.”

The Canarian archipelago, lost in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, is perhaps the warmest corner of Spain. Speaking about the weather conditions of this country, these islands always go in a separate line, since they are separated from the mainland by a distance of 1500 km, and territorially they are closer to Africa. It is not difficult to guess that in autumn it is much hotter here than in the rest of the Kingdom, and you can swim, due to the proximity to the equator line, in any of the three months of this season.
Autumn is one of the best times of the year to visit the Canary Islands

Weather in the Canary Islands in September

September weather in the Canary Islands is not much different from summer. Unless the water, compared to July, becomes a degree warmer, and the maximum number of hours of sunshine is reduced to 7 per day. However, the last moment in no way affects the quality of tanning. The bright rays of the sun are still pleasantly warm and give the skin an even chocolate shade.
September in the Canary Islands is excellent for a comfortable beach holiday

It should be noted that from June to October temperature differences are very weak. In the first ten days of the month at noon, the mercury column, just as before, props up +27 .. + 28 ° С, without giving even the slightest hint of the need to get demi-season things from the mezzanine. The basis of the wardrobe at this time is a swimsuit, shorts, T-shirts, sundresses and slates. The only thing that pampered Europeans will probably need is a light sweater with long sleeves for the evening.

Regarding precipitation: in fact, none. The number of days with rains does not exceed 3. And even then, it is very difficult to call them full-fledged rains: they are not strong and transient. The driest are the closest neighbors of the African continent – Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, as well as the southern regions of Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Weather in the Canary Islands in October

In October, the number of people in the resorts becomes much less. But here it is mainly due to the end of the holiday season, and not to the weather as such, because, despite a slight cold snap, it continues to be excellent. The second month of autumn is recommended for relaxation for those who prefer the gentle rays of the sun and do not mind actively participating in excursions.

From time to time the clear blue of the skies is obscured by fluffy clouds. Sometimes they bring showers with them. However, you should not worry about this, since in general the amount of precipitation is 30 mm, evenly distributed over 5 wet days. The exceptions are Lanzarote and Fuertoventura with 8 mm. The sea is not in a hurry to cool down, and swimming is quite comfortable.

Weather in the Canary Islands in November

November in the Canary Islands is very difficult to classify as summer months, even taking into account the fact that it is already quite chilly at night, and 20 to 50 mm of precipitation falls per month / 6-7 cloudy days. On fine days, which are the majority, it’s still warm and sunny enough to flaunt in summer attire.
Going to the Canary Islands in November, take with you things that you usually wear in the summer and just a couple of long-sleeved sweaters, they will be needed on chilly evenings

However, it should be noted that in the northern parts of the islands, the wind and humidity are pronounced, so they neutralize the effect of high temperatures there. Those who are planning a trip for this month prefer southern resorts, where it is much drier. Of course, you can go to Fuertoventura or Lanzarote, so as not to get caught in the rain. But this is not advisable due to the cold sea there.

In November, the weather in the Canary Islands is similar to that typical for most Russian cities in summer

Summing up, we can conclude that autumn in the Canary Islands is incredibly good. For a guaranteed carefree beach holiday, you should go in September-October. November is also favorable, but the sun is not hot, and the sea is already refreshing.

Climate of the Canary Islands

Read about the temperature and climate in November in reviews know. And yet, this is not a reason to say that autumn has come to the islands of the archipelago. Because she never comes here.

During the day the sun is still shining brightly on the islands and the air is still very warm. The average air temperature at this time of the year is approximately +21…+23 degrees. At night, it will be noticeably cooler – in some areas of the archipelago, the temperature can drop to +16 degrees. This feature of the local weather in November must be taken into account – warm clothes will obviously be useful during evening walks.

Good news for travelers who want to go to the Canary Islands at the end of autumn will be the fact that a slight cooling does not affect the cooling of the water in the ocean, which has already warmed up over the year. The average temperature of ocean water in November is about +22 degrees. So the vagaries of the weather in the Canary Islands in November will not affect the comfort of a beach holiday.

One of the less pleasant features of the November weather in the Canary Islands is rain. You need to be prepared for them, but it is not so difficult to escape from them, because the amount of precipitation and the time of their fall on different islands of the archipelago is different. On the island of La Palma, on average, eight rainy days, on other islands, precipitation falls less frequently.

El Hierro – Guide in Russian

Western part

El Hierro (El Hierro) is the smallest island of the Canary archipelago, its area is 268. 7 sq. km. 10587 people live on it. The island of El Hierro is of volcanic origin, like the other islands of the archipelago. Its highest point is Pico de Malpaso at 1501 meters above sea level. It is a popular tourist spot, but most tourists come to the island with short excursions. Holidays on the island are specific and will appeal to those who are looking for a remote corner for solitude.

History

City Los Llanillos, (La Fronetera – El Hierro), a donkey carrying two barrels of wine, an old measure that corresponded to 32 liters.

It is not known exactly where the name of the island came from, there is an opinion that the natives of the island knew it as Eseró or Heró , which translated as “rocky wall”. There is also a theory that El Hierro was so named by sailors because of metallic color of the rocks. If translated from Spanish into Russian, then its name will be – “Iron”.

Zero meridian or Ferro

For a very long time, El Hierro was considered the end of the world, the zero meridian.

Before the conquest of the Canary Islands by the Spaniards, El Hierro was inhabited by an indigenous population called Bimbache. This is one of the peoples of the Canary Islands. It has been proven that they are genetically close to the Berbers from North Africa. It was a peaceful, highly organized people, engaged in cattle breeding and agriculture, and did not know the maritime business. The king ruled the bimbache, but in fact he served as a mediator and judge.

At the same time, the Bimbache did not know metal and had no contact with other peoples. They lived in caves or simple houses built of stones.

Rock paintings, engravings

Bimbache left numerous petroglyphs in different parts of the island, many of which have not been deciphered even now.

Betancourt

The island was conquered at the beginning of the 15th century by Jean de Bethencourt, he conquered Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and El Hierro. Bimbache practically did not resist, the island was quickly conquered and colonized by Europeans.

At that time, El Hierro was quite crowded, but the limited amount of agricultural land and frequent droughts led to the fact that in the middle of the 20th century, many locals left the island. Most moved to Tenerife and Gran Canaria, but there are also those who went to South America.

Geography

The island was formed about 100 million years ago as a result of complex geological processes, when the ocean floor rose and split into a three-pointed star. Magma began to flow through the cracks, coming into contact with ocean waters, it solidified, forming a bizarre relief. Originally El Hierro resembled a triangular pyramid with a volcano, about 2 thousand meters high. But 50,000 years ago, a grandiose event in its destructiveness happened – a giant landslide, due to which a large piece of the island broke off and fell into the ocean, provoking strong tsunamis off the coast of Brazil and Argentina.

On the map under the number – 7

As a result of these processes, the El Golfo Valley, one of the most picturesque places on the island, appeared.

El Hierro has the highest density of volcanoes in the Canary Islands, with about 500 known craters and another 300 craters hidden under volcanic lava.

There are three municipalities on the island:

Population

As of 2019, 10,968 people live on El Hierro. Most inhabitants in the municipality:

Valverde – 5035 people

La Frontera 4124 inhabitants

El Pinar – 1801 people

Most of the local residents are engaged in agriculture or are employed in tourism and services.

The largest city is Valverde, the island’s capital and tourist centre.

Weather and climate

Clear sky, little precipitation, bright sun. These are the main characteristics of El Hierro’s climate in summer and winter. Here you can enjoy excellent weather all year round, the average annual air temperature during the day is about + 20- + 25 ° С. The climate and weather on El Hierro are equally wonderful in winter, spring, summer and autumn.

El Hierro has clear nights, which, combined with the absence of big cities, attracts astronomers and romantics who love stargazing.

Despite its small size, El Hierro has several climatic zones. The climate is subtropical in the center of the island, changing to a semi-arid and tropical desert climate in the coastal areas.

The warm climate of El Hierro is explained by the Canary Current and the trade winds that blow all year round. It is very rarely cloudy on the island, the sun is almost daily. It rains only in winter, on average, the number of rainy days does not exceed 3 per month. In the summer, El Hierro enjoys warm, dry, sunny weather, while the island does not get very hot and always has a refreshing breeze.

Spain in winter

Water temperature

The temperature of the ocean off the coast of Tenerife is determined by the cold Canary current washing the archipelago. Therefore, the water here during the year is always cooler than it could be at the latitude of Miami: from 18-19°C in February-March to 23-24°C in September-October.

In the water area of the waves-protected beaches of the resorts of the southern part of the island, the water warms up better in the African sun. Even in February-March (the least favorable time of the year for swimming in the ocean), it often reaches 20 ° C by noon in cloudy weather. But for heat-loving tourists, in order to avoid unjustified expectations, we recommend that when planning your vacation in Tenerife, you should still focus on the water temperature on the diagram.

February

Water and air temperature. At the end of winter, the thermometer does not fall below +20°C during the day. The water in the ocean is still cool +19°C.

Weather conditions. In the north of the island in February there are 6-7 rainy days, and in the south – only 3-5. You can get a good tan in the resorts of Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje and Playa de las Americas.

Reviews of tourists. Mild winter weather attracts everyone to the Canary Islands who wants to bask in the sun and relax from severe frosts. According to vacationers, the low season in Tenerife has many advantages. There are no crowds of tourists on the island, agencies offer inexpensive tours, and hotels lure guests with good discounts.

Diving

One of the activities on the island is scuba diving. The best places for this are the southern and southwestern coasts. In other parts, the weather often interferes, there are many waves, more often it rains.

Most of the dive centers in Tenerife are located in Las Americas and Costa Adeje. This option is suitable for beginners and those who do not want to go to dive sites on their own. It should be understood that you will not dive near the resorts, you will be taken to quieter corners, where the best conditions for diving and a richer water world. True, some unscrupulous centers even offer tourists to dive near Las Americas, where all the fish are scared away by bathing tourists and jet skis with boats. As a result, you will get a negative experience from diving in Tenerife.

Therefore, we recommend that experienced and sophisticated divers immediately go to places where professionals start. First of all, this is a small resort Costa del Silencio. You can also go to Las Galletas, Punta de la Rasca, Playa Paraiso and Punta de Teno. Here prices are much lower than in Las Americas. The best dive site is considered to be Los Chuchos, where the richest marine life is. You will be surrounded by stingrays, fur cats, eagles, turtles and many smaller fish.

Other Tenerife dive sites: Punta Blanka, Condesito, Faro, Punta Rasca, Cueva de Palm Mar, Falla Uno, El Arco, Champinones, Montania Amorill, Huesi Mountain, Punta Negro.

If you want to explore caves, grottoes and shipwrecks, Cueva de los Serebros and El Condesito are the places to go.

Those who live in the north of Tenerife should go diving to Atlantis, Aquario, Barranco Seco.

March

Water and air temperature. At the beginning of spring the sun burns more often, so during the day the air warms up to +21…+23°С. The temperature of sea water, as in winter, is +19°C.

Weather conditions. In March, Tenerife is very beautiful, flowers and trees bloom. There is little rain – from 3 to 6 days per month. When the weather is clear, it is nice to sunbathe and walk along the coast.

Reviews of tourists. In the daytime it is already warm enough – you will need shorts, T-shirts, skirts and sundresses. Evenings and early mornings are still cool. Tourists are advised to put trousers, a warm sweater and a windbreaker in their luggage. If you want to visit the mountains, be sure to bring a jacket and sturdy trekking shoes.

Beaches

You can swim or sunbathe in Tenerife in any place you like. There are no private, purchased beaches here. There are natural beaches with black sand and artificial ones with light sand. They brought it from Africa. By the way, about her. Do not forget that the Canary Islands are not that far from the equator. And there, if you remember their geography course, well, it’s very hot. Therefore, even if clouds are running across the sky of Tenerife, and a light breeze is running through the body, the chances of burning out still remain high. Don’t forget protective equipment.

Soothing information for zoophobes: Walking through the forests of Tenerife, climbing high on the rocks, you will not meet birds of prey or animals, as well as dangerous insects. Sharks and other marine reptiles do not swim to the shores of the ocean. In this regard, everything on the island is quiet, calm and safe even for children. And representatives of the rich plant world, which bloom here especially beautifully in spring, are taken to amaze your imagination.

On the beach you can ride jet skis, water bikes, bananas, try to catch up with the boat, flying on a parachute (parasailing) for your money. All this will cost €3-50.

April

Reviews of tourists. Before the start of the beach season in Tenerife, the demand for tours is growing. The cost of hotel rooms is also increasing, so tourists prefer to rent accommodation in the private sector.

Where to live

On the large islands, there are a huge number of offers in inexpensive and cozy hotels: an overnight stay will cost 30-40 euros per day per person. There are also very good hostels where you can stay for about 20-25 euros per day.

On the less popular islands of El Hierro, La Palma and Lanzarote, there are fewer offers, but the prices are not as high. A room in a 3-star hotel costs about 25 euros.

Tourists highly recommend the following hotels in the Canary Islands:

Apartaments Islamar Arrecife (Av. Rafael Gonzalez 15, 35500 Arrecife, Lanzarote) is a cozy hotel with excellent service on the ocean.

Reviews of tourists. At the end of spring, the beach season opens in the Canary Islands, but the sea is still cold for swimming. May is the time when it is better to come to Tenerife for lovers of cultural and excursion tourism and outdoor activities. Climb the Teide volcano. Go on a boat trip and watch the whales that swim between Tenerife and La Gomera.

Cuisine

Canarian cuisine is a symbiosis of global gastronomic passions that have received a response of approval from the indigenous people. The basis is, of course, Spanish cuisine. But the proximity of Africa could not but affect the “same” taste. Added a couple of “spicy notes” Latin America, where at one time, if you study history, the islanders sailed to work. And the proximity of the ocean with its inhabitants completed the formation of the traditional Canarian menu, which you will get your hands on when visiting the restaurant. Oh yes! Not without fast food, of course. A touch of modernity cannot be wiped off the face of the earth, even if you want to relax as a “savage”.

Are you salivating yet? Well, let’s add specifics:

Gofio – bread-not bread, barley dough with a special taste. It can be considered as an independent side dish for meat. And you can even find it in the composition of some dessert.
Once in Tenerife, you will definitely get acquainted with Canarian red and green sauces, which are traditionally served here for lunch and dinner.
Papas arrugadas are ordinary potatoes boiled in an unusual way. Would you say trite? It is unlikely that papas merchants will agree with you. For one kilogram they usually ask for € 8. What is the secret? In a special kind of potato that looks different and tastes incredible.
Everything is clear with fish. There is a lot of it, it is fresh, valued above meat. True, there is one caveat: a truly delicious fish can not be tasted in some well-known restaurant in a popular resort. Will have to move farther. For example, the village of Tahao will please fish gourmets and will not ask for a lot of money for it.
As meat, you will be offered rabbit, goat, chicken or chicken, beef and pork in various variations from soups to stews.
The island has the whole alphabet of fruits and their derivatives. Would you like to try palm honey? And, of course, cheeses are incomparable. They are usually made from sheep and goat milk.

Features of rest on the island of Tenerife

General recommendations for visitors who visit this resort for the first time: – Euro. You can make an exchange at any bank or at a money exchange point. An inflated commission is taken for such an operation, and it is better to do this in advance.

Everywhere on the island there is a cashless system. You can pay with a bank card at any major hotel, restaurant or entertainment venue. When visiting ordinary markets or modest establishments, it is better to have cash with you.

You can order a sightseeing tour or tickets for various performances by going to the tourist office, which are concentrated in almost every hotel.

All the locals on the island speak Spanish, but only a few speak English. It would not be superfluous to learn a few phrases in their native language and show off their knowledge. Local residents will appreciate this fact.

Due to the alternating voltage, it is better to use adapter devices for the operation of electrical appliances. You can get them at any local supermarket or hardware store.

It is better for visitors to drink and use purified water for cooking, which can be bought in a store. Drinking local water can negatively affect the health and functioning of the intestines.

When buying goods in the market, you can bargain by lowering the price of the goods. This number will not work in supermarkets.

Tourists should clarify the specific place on the island where they are going to, and what the weather is like there during this period, because it can vary significantly.

For a better acquaintance with the surroundings of the island, you can use the service, which costs from 20 euros per day and rent a car. It will be convenient to move around on it, but this can only be done by those who have international driving licenses. You also need to have your passport with you. Sometimes the service may be denied by young people under 21 and those with less than 2 years of eligibility.

Shopping

Tenerife provides many good opportunities for quality and enjoyable shopping.

First, there are two periods of big sales: summer and winter. Summer lasts from July 1 to August 31, and winter begins after the end of the Christmas holidays on January 7 and ends on March 6, shortly before the start of the tourist season.

But apart from sales, there are interesting offers.

First of all, shopping lovers are attracted by the so-called “Golden Mile” – the central street in Playa de Las Americas, where most shops and shopping centers with clothes and accessories of any price category are concentrated: from budget brands to luxury brands.

In the city of Costa Adeje, there is a new modern Siam Mall, in which not only shops, but also entertainment for children in the form of playgrounds and attractions.

At the same time, in the capital of the island – Santa Cruz de la Tenerife – there are many more shopping centers, so after a “warm-up” on the coast, shopping professionals go there.

We advise you to pay special attention to regional souvenirs and products that you can bring from Tenerife:

Honey – for many tourists it is an amazing discovery that there are beautiful apiaries in Tenerife, where delicious honey is produced every year.

Sauces – most dishes have such an original taste because local chefs know how to choose sauces for each of them.

Jewelry and souvenirs made of pearls – in local shops you can find wonderful products made from sea pearls.

Products or jewelry made from olivine, a semi-precious stone found in Tenerife as a result of past eruptions of Mount Teide.

Wine – the island is part of Spain, so on its territory you can find a full range of Spanish wines with different shades and tastes.

For those looking for something old and unique, we recommend visiting the local flea market in Puerto de la Cruz, which is open two days a week morning – on Saturday and Wednesday or in Santa Cruz on Sundays.

August

Water and air temperature. During the daytime in Tenerife, the temperature rises to +29°C and above. At night the air temperature is +21°С. The water in the ocean is warm +23°С. Tourists enjoy swimming, snorkeling and diving.

Weather conditions. It’s sunny in the Canary Islands at the end of summer. There are only 3 rainy days per month. Fresh winds from the ocean lighten the heat, so those who, for health reasons, find it difficult to relax in European resorts come to the island.

Reviews of tourists. If you don’t know when is the best time to visit Tenerife with children, choose August. One of the hottest months of the year is ideal for beach activities and interesting excursions. Take the whole family to Loro Park, the ostrich farm and the attractions of Siam Park.

What to see in Tenerife

Holidays with children

Tenerife is a great place for active pastime with children. There are water parks throughout the island. One of them is located in the resort of Adeje and may surprise you with its design. Various buildings and sculptures among the green vegetation immediately catch the eye.

The pools with mirror waters are equipped with artificial waves, which will definitely appeal to the little guests. An invaluable advantage will be a recreation area equipped with soft sand.

Among the huge number of entertainment places, it is worth highlighting Arona Beach Park, located close to the beach. Also, children will enjoy the installed trampolines, playgrounds and attractions. Not far from the park, you can relax in a cafe and have fun during the day.

Fans of a quieter and less crowded holiday will appreciate the Octopus Aquapark. This water park is different in that in addition to slides and pools, a dolphinarium was built on its territory. Here you can not only admire beautiful dolphins, watch show programs, but also take a few pictures as a keepsake while swimming with dolphins.

The inhabitants of the Monkey Park will give you a lot of impressions. The name speaks for itself. Monkeys are not at all afraid of visitors, but on the contrary, they are ready to make friends for a treat and even allow you to pick yourself up.

The design of the park is quite interesting and picturesque. It seems to be saturated with green spaces and exotic flowers. Also on its territory you can visit the terrarium and visit the turtles.

Children will be thrilled to visit the local zoo “Loro Parque”, which is inhabited by various inhabitants. In its territory it is large and there is enough space for all animals. Here you can see interesting options for landscape decorations.

One of the most popular places for couples at the zoo is the aviary with parrots. An aquarium with marine life is also located on the territory of the zoo. Everything is equipped in it for a comfortable stay of penguins, which will be exciting to watch for both children and their parents.

Tenerife is a place that is always ready to welcome its guests, regardless of the weather in certain months of the season. For a wonderful holiday on the island, any time is suitable, whatever you choose. This is a fabulous paradise for any traveler.

The best tours according to reviews routes.

Overview – a little bit of everything in a nutshell to get a general idea of this amazing island that holds many mysteries and secrets.

Visit the Jolly Roger – a fascinating tour of real pirate places.

Unexplored Tenerife – there are other places on the island hidden from the eyes of curious tourists. That’s where we propose to go.

Sunrise on the volcano – perhaps this sunrise will be remembered for a lifetime, because not everyone manages to meet the beginning of a new day on the Teide volcano! And while waiting for the first rays of the sun, the participants of the excursion will be able to see the huge starry sky.

Spinning Yacht Ride – even novice fishermen will enjoy this offshore trip with the opportunity to catch some underwater life in person.

See examples of interesting excursions in the video “In search of adventure with Mikhail Kozhukhov – Tenerife”:
December
Water and air temperature. In the first month of winter, the weather in Tenerife is warm. The air temperature is +23°С, and the sea water is +22°С.
Weather conditions. Green and fresh December in the Canary Islands pleases the eye! The sun illuminates the rows of date palms and green hillsides. Humidity is high at 75% and the number of rainy days increases to six.
Reviews of tourists. December is a great time for excursions. Visit colorful medieval villages, see the sights of the island’s capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and climb Mount Teide. It is already covered with snow and looks very picturesque.
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.
The climate of the Canary Islands. Weather in the Canary Islands for months. Related video
The Canary Islands are not only resort hotels with the highest level of comfort and service, but also formidable volcanoes, dense coniferous forests, landscapes of hardened lava reminiscent of Martian, many kilometers of sand dunes that evoke thoughts of the Sahara, and also a mass of prehistoric monuments, the purpose of which has not been unraveled by historians to this day. However, most tourists are unaware of all this. In principle, they are easy to understand. Arriving on the islands, where summer weather reigns all year round, and the air temperature almost never drops below +18 ° C, it is quite difficult to tear oneself away from the gorgeous volcanic beaches, azure ocean waters, surfing or diving and allocate time for an excursion program. But those who still manage to force themselves to do it will definitely not regret it. The lava fields of Lanzarote, the huge volcano El Teide, the numerous waterfalls of La Palma, the subtropical nature of La Gomera, the amazing underwater world of El Hierro – just a small part of the list, for which it is worth breaking away from the pool and walking through the mountains and valleys of this amazing archipelago.
What can we say about the beaches, cuisine and developed infrastructure of the Canary Islands – all this meets the highest international standards and does not cause any complaints from numerous vacationers.
Weather and climate of the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands is the very place on earth where, due to the influence of a tropical trade wind climate, weather similar to early summer reigns all year round. Warm air, luxurious nature, as well as a comfortable ocean are the main attractions of the archipelago. The Canaries do not experience rainy seasons or low temperatures, for this reason we can safely say that the waves of the Atlantic Ocean wash a unique and unlike other family of islands. Particularly close consideration deserve the islands, called “continents in miniature.” These are Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma.
High mountain ranges cut all 3 above-mentioned islands into 2 different climatic zones: southern and northern. The main tourist centers of the magnificent Canarian mini-continents are in the south, where about 350 days a year the weather is clear. The southern regions of Tenerife, Gran Canary and La Palma, beloved by tourists, have a privileged position: they are protected from powerful winds and unwanted precipitation by mountain ranges, and from the exhausting heat and drought, which neighbor Africa is ready to share, they are protected by cool, humid winds blowing from the north and east. trade winds. The northern regions of the three most popular tourist islands of the Canary archipelago boast lush vegetation, relatively rainy winters and heavenly conditions for surfers or yachtsmen.
The islands located in the east of the Canary archipelago (primarily the island of Fuerteventura), due to their close proximity to the largest desert on Earth, the Sahara, are quite arid in comparison with their western Canarian counterparts. But this does not prevent us from considering the climate in the east of the Canary Islands quite comfortable and conducive to a pleasant pastime and an unforgettable vacation.
The maximum difference between seasonal temperatures in the Canary Islands does not exceed 8°C (that is, in winter it is no more than 8 degrees colder than in summer) , and the temperature difference between the islands of the archipelago does not exceed 2°C. For example, the thermometers in Gran Canaria usually show about 2°C warmer than in Tenerife.

This is interesting: Even more surprising is the fact that even the ocean waters in this paradise all year round remain heated to approximately the same temperature – from +20 to +24°C. Well, isn’t this the perfect place to relax?

January
Vacationers who go to the popular Spanish islands at the very beginning of the year doom themselves to the fact that the Christmas miracle will last for them the whole holiday. The January sun of the Canaries can magically endow all tourists with a truly perfect bronze tan, and the high mountains of the archipelago can give wonderful snowy impressions. Agree, the prospect of going to the beach on a January morning, walking along the snow-covered slopes during the day, and having dinner or having a romantic date in a cozy restaurant at night is more than tempting.
The average daily temperature is +23°C, at night +19°C, the water warms up to +20°C.
February
Are you behind two long and cold winter months? It’s time to take care of your own health and cheer yourself up. And to do it not just anywhere, but in one of the heavenly corners of our planet – on some of the Canary Islands. Flying from the Russian winter to the summer conditions of the February Canaries, you do not have to be afraid of a sharp change in temperature – the probability of a painful and unpleasant acclimatization process tends to zero. On the contrary, the fresh, clean and warm air of the islands of the archipelago in a matter of days will fill your tired body with new strength, energy and make you feel much better.
The average daily temperature is +23°C, at night +19°C, the water warms up to +20°C.
March
The best gift for your beloved women by March 8 can be a trip to a romantic and fabulous tour, which can be found on any of the islands of the Canary archipelago. No wonder that the March weather in the Canary Islands is beautiful (however, as always), and the sun and the ocean welcome guests with joy. In the mountains, after the arrival of spring, the snow that has fallen during the winter months does not leave even the slightest trace. True, in rare cases, snow can lie on the top of the highest volcano Teide until the beginning of May. So, if you are going to not only swim and sunbathe, but also walk along the picturesque slopes on the island of Tenerife, we recommend that you take clothes a little warmer than the beach version with you.
The average daily temperature is +24°C, at night +20°C, the water warms up to +20°C.
April
April is a period of discounts for travel operators and airlines. The latter arrange real holidays for travelers and offer to deliver them to the chic beaches of the Canaries much cheaper than in summer. And this despite the fact that the thermometers on the islands show about 2 degrees higher than in March.

Useful information: the option to get to the resorts of the Canary archipelago in April is very attractive for frozen tourists from Russia. And even from a financial point of view.

The average daily temperature is +25°C, at night +21°C, the water warms up to +21°C.
May
If the May holidays had no history, tourists might assume that they were created solely for the opportunity to go to the Canary Islands. Holidays in the archipelago in May are a great opportunity to soak up the beaches, enjoy the excellent infrastructure and take a deep breath of healing air before the exhausting and often difficult summer in Russia.
The average daily temperature is +26°C, at night +22°C, the water warms up to +21°C.
June
June is considered the last month for a calm, measured and secluded holiday in the Canary Islands. The fact is that in a month there will be a lot of people at these fabulous resorts. Tourists from all over the world will leave their worries at home and rush to the white sand and warm ocean waters. Nevertheless, already in June in the Canary Islands, the ideal weather sets in for a flawless bronze tan.

This is interesting: Note that it is not necessary to use sunscreen and other means for burns here, since the Canary sun works “in a gentle mode” all year round.

The average daily temperature is +28°C, at night +25°C, the water warms up to +23°C.
July
Even in the midst of summer, in July, the resorts of the Canaries continue to defend the glory of the archipelago as spring. Even on Fuerteventura, an island famous for its sand dunes, formed thanks to the tangible breath of the Sahara desert, the African heat is not even close. Underwater ocean currents cool the Canarian air to a comfortable temperature. That is, there are not even the slightest climatic obstacles for an unforgettable vacation.
The average daily temperature is +29°C, at night +27°C, the water warms up to +23°C.
August

Interesting fact: August is the hottest month of the year in the Canary Islands. In the last month of summer, the air warms up to about +30°C, and in some places even a little higher. But, despite this, the August heat in the Canary Islands is incomparable with the pronounced aridity and sweltering heat of Turkey, Greece and a number of other southern countries.

The Canary Islands are unique in their comfortable and almost unchanging climate, which does not create the slightest discomfort both in winter and in summer. Do you want to make sure of this? Pack your bags and head to the Canaries in August!
The average daily temperature is +31°C, at night +27°C, the water warms up to +24°C.
September
In the first month of autumn, the weather conditions in the Canary Islands are practically no different from those that spoiled tourists at the height of summer. The only difference is that towards the end of September, the thermometers in the Canary Islands gradually drop by no more than 2-4 divisions. But this is not an obstacle for light T-shirts, shorts, swimwear and slates to remain constant companions of tourists who have chosen their September holidays. There is also a reason for the joy of white-skinned beauties, children and people of respectable age. After the arrival of autumn, the sun in the Canaries remains warm, but becomes less active.
The average daily temperature is +27°C, at night +25°C, the water warms up to +24°C.
October
The summer sun, which illuminates and warms the family of islands of the Canary archipelago all year round, can not only prolong your summer mood, but also can charge you with energy and cheerfulness for a long time. And even the fact that the second month of autumn is already on the calendar does not prevent summer from still dominating the Canary Islands. Even in the evening and at night, the temperature of water and air does not change here and remains close to summer.
The average daily temperature is +26°C, at night +24°C, the water warms up to +24°C.
November
In November, the Canary Islands are full of late, but not mistaken with their choice of tourists. The weather, as always, favors a comfortable and peaceful rest.

This is interesting: The difference between water and air temperatures at any time is no more than 1-2°C, therefore, it is practically not felt.

Leaving the hustle and bustle in their homeland, the November vacationers sweetly bask in the warm sun all day and splash in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and in the late afternoon they meet the sunset under the soothing sound of the surf.
The average daily temperature is +24°C, at night +22°C, the water warms up to +23°C.
December
In winter, the Canary Islands are a real expanse for tourists who want to see as much as possible.

It’s interesting: It’s hard to believe, but in December in the Canary Islands in less than an hour you can swim in the warm ocean, sunbathe in the sun, and walk on fresh snow in the mountains.

If you have planned hiking around the island and exploring local natural attractions, nevertheless, allocate a place in your suitcases for a couple of warm clothes. In the Canary Islands, everything turns upside down in winter: the higher you climb to the sun, the colder it gets.
