Tenerife north, Canary Islands – October Weather
What’s the weather like in Tenerife in October?
While not a noticeable difference, October can be a time for change in and around Tenerife North. It is during this time of the year that temperatures both on land and sea begin to cool off just slightly and the amount of rain begins to tick upward yet again. However, the region can still be a terrific place to visit at this time of the year.
Sea Temperature
Despite ocean temperatures getting cooler in the Atlantic Ocean, it is still possible to swim during the month. Average sea temperatures are down to 22°C (72°F), however, this is still pleasant enough for a long swim.
Temperature
On land, temperatures this month are also headed downward, but visitors will still be comfortable without a light jacket both in the daylight and at night. Average afternoon highs can reach 26°C (79°F). While this temperature is several degrees lower than the hottest temperatures of the year in August, they are still warm enough for shorts and short sleeves. Average overnight lows will dip to a pleasant 20°C (68 F). The average temperature of both the afternoon highs and overnight lows on a daily basis for the month is 23°C (73°F) which is very mild for autumn.
Rain
Rainfall amounts begin to pick up again as the seasons begin to change. With this change, can also come some brief, heavy downpours. The average amount of rain for the month is a manageable 20mm spread over an average of 5 days. Sunlight is also still present with most days seeing an average of 8 hours of basking sun.
With pleasant weather conditions and mainly dry days, late summer/early fall is still a great time to plan a vacation to the northern part of the island. In fact, as weather begins to turn more unpredictable in mainland Spain at this time of the year, the weather is still remarkably consistent on Tenerife.

Unless it’s half term, the month of October is a perfect time to visit Tenerife, as the island quiets down for a bit after the crazy summer months.

The weather in Tenerife in October is still warm enough for sunbathing and swimming in the south, so there’s no need to leave your swimsuit at home.
Sun cream with 30 or 50 SPF is mandatory as well, since the sun continues to burn during the day and you will regret not using sun cream, even when if it’s cloudy.

Sun cream with 30 or 50 SPF is mandatory as well, since the sun continues to burn during the day and you will regret not using sun cream, even when if it’s cloudy.
The weather in Puerto de la Cruz starts to cool down faster than in the south, but the weather is still pleasant and many people actually prefer it to the blazing sun in the south. Although you will probably need a cardigan at night when in Puerto de la Cruz in October, during the daytime the temperatures will still be in the mid 20s°C, so a T-shirt and shorts will be all you need during the day.
Tenerife South in October
Tenerife South in October is a bit quieter than in summer, but there is still plenty going on. The good thing about Tenerife is the fact that the weather is pretty much nice all year round, which means that the tourist season here never ends. But there are different types of tourists visiting at different times of the year. October is one of the more chilled and relaxed months, up until the week when families with children on half term holidays arrive.
Which resort to choose in October?
In October we prefer the weather and atmosphere in Playa San Juan or Puerto de Santiago over the more popular resorts like Playa de las Americas or Costa Adeje.
You can still go to pretty much any beach in Tenerife South and it will be absolutely perfect for swimming. We love Playa Troya and Playa del Duque, as they are not as packed in October like they are in summer.
Depending on where you are from originally, the weather in Tenerife South in October will probably seem like summer back home or even better, since you can sunbathe almost every day, the ocean is perfect for swimming and the days are still long and hot.

Weather in October
October is a sunny month on this Spanish island. The resorts of the southwestern and southeastern coasts are flooded with warm rays of the sun for about 28 days. The month turned out to be less clear in the north of the island, where the number of sunny days does not exceed 22. When planning a trip, it should be borne in mind that closer to the third decade of the month, the weather begins to break down. Increasingly, rain clouds begin to make their way to the south of the peninsula, the nights become cooler, and the sky from predominantly clear becomes cloudy.
The north of the island is characterized by a higher level of precipitation, which falls twice as much as in the south. Therefore, when choosing a resort, it is worth betting on the southern part of the island.

- Los Cristianos: +26˚С… +29˚С
- Costa Adeje: +26˚N…29˚N

Shopping – what to look for
Traditional lace, chrysolite jewelry, palm honey or agave sweets – souvenirs from Tenerife are original. If you believe the reviews of experienced travelers, it is better to make any purchases in the north of the island, since in the south all the shops belong to the Indians, who have a peculiar idea of trade. And tourists have a great chance to buy a fake at an inflated price in this part of the island.
Locals prefer to buy everything in Santa Cruz, as there are good shopping centers in the capital. A shopping tour from south to north will cost about 22 euros – but go if you like the idea of spending the whole day in the shops.
You should be wary of offers to buy a sightseeing tour of the island. For about 100 euros, tourists are offered to visit almost everywhere. What tourists got in reality did not arouse rave reviews from them: very frequent stops near certain souvenir shops, the goods in which are more expensive than in city stores, a few minutes in beautiful places, a good dinner and other entertainment from about hours until five in the evening.
If possible, it is best to rent a car (the same 100 euros, but for three days), and drive around the island on your own, stop in places you like, and not just in shops. It is better not to spare money for renting a Russian-language navigator – the movement on the island is confusing, and the gadget will help you not to get lost.
Is it possible to see all the most interesting things on the island in a few days? How not to miss the most important thing? Teide Volcano, Maski Village, miniature park… what else? Here’s a tip for you – a list of places to see in Tenerife in the first place.
The disadvantages of Tenerife in October for shopping lovers are the lack of discounts at this time. If in June or February, when there is a grand sale all over the island, it is quite realistic to buy things (for example, shoes for only 10 euros, with a 70% discount), then in the middle of autumn there will be no such sales yet.
Reviews about the holidays in Tenerife
Tamara, Kazan:
“The climate in Tenerife in October is very comfortable. It is worth taking a ticket even just because of the Atlantic Ocean, beautiful and clean. I am glad that the infrastructure is very developed on the island, the locals are friendly to tourists. And, of course, the volcano. However, you need to know that here you will not find advertising beaches, special exoticism and tropical riot of greenery.
Ekaterina, Moscow:
“The island is not rich in vegetation, but very beautiful. Amazed by the huge number of elderly vacationers. In October, the ocean was cool, and the breeze was picking up. However, for surfers – the best place to relax. Even if you go for only 10 days, and at the same time rent a car, then you can see all the sights that are declared in tourist booklets without any problems and extra costs.
Denis, Novgorod:
“Great autumn holidays in Tenerife! The weather is gorgeous, very mild climate. The sea, kind people, nature – I liked everything. The south is sunny, the water temperature in the ocean was +25 degrees. But in the north, the climate is different, cooler. Luckily, there was no rain at the end of October, the sun is very gentle, even at noon.
Tenerife climate

The island is unique in this respect. As already mentioned, the water temperature in Tenerife in different months differs slightly. It reaches its maximum values of +24…+26 degrees in July-October. In May, June and November the sea warms up to +21…+23 degrees. In December, January, February, March and April, the water temperature is about +20, which, in general, is suitable for swimming, at least it is quite possible to plunge for a few minutes, especially in the afternoon.
Rains in Tenerife
The island is not subject to heavy rainfall, the rains in Tenerife mainly fall in the north, where there are no popular beaches. But even there, from May to September, they almost never happen. The most rainy is January and February, but the precipitation is still less than in the popular European resorts at this time. True, at this time there are more waves on the sea.
So you don’t have to worry that your vacation will be overshadowed by the weather, but in summer and early autumn we can guarantee the sun all your vacation.
Beach season in Tenerife, when is the best time to relax
Tenerife can be a holiday all year round. And even when the beach season has already ended in European resorts, in Tenerife it continues for at least another 1.5 months.
The best time to relax is summer and autumn, when daytime temperatures are very comfortable (+23…+26) and the water is warm (+22…+25 degrees).
However, if you want a piece of summer in winter, then welcome to December, January, February, March and April. We can definitely guarantee that you will get your portion of sun and tan, and on some days you can even swim. It is only worth choosing the southern beaches, and not the northern ones, where there are a lot of waves. But for surfers, the recommendation will be exactly the opposite.
Many beaches are protected by breakwaters, so you can swim even in strong winds. The only thing you need to be careful when traveling with children.
The highest season in Tenerife, when most people are in August and September. In our opinion, the ideal holiday time is October, when there are fewer people, and the weather and the sea are exactly the same as in summer.

SELECTIONAL Mountains, Tenerifa
9000 2 subtropical climate with average daily highs of over 20°C throughout the year. Cooled by the Canary Current and the prevailing northeast trade winds, temperatures are slightly cooler than would normally be expected at this latitude (same as Orlando in Florida and less than 300 km from Western Sahara). This northeasterly breeze is at its strongest during the summer months and helps keep temperatures in the mid-twenties rather than mid-thirties.
Microclimate
The rain shadow effect caused by the inland mountains makes the southwest very arid. Conversely, most of the island’s precipitation falls on the northern slopes between 600 and 1800 meters above sea level. An interesting phenomenon that can often be observed in Tenerife is called the Sea of Clouds. This occurs when wet trade winds (sea level) condense as they rise above the island’s steep northern slope and then meet a temperature inversion layer (drier, warmer air at higher altitude) at about 1,700 meters.
These factors, combined with the island’s varied topography, mean that this relatively small island has a range of microclimates. north, as one might expect. The most significant differences in climate are often observed between areas that are actually adjacent to each other; Santa Cruz receives an average of 214 mm of rain per year and has an average temperature of 21.2 ° C, driving just a few kilometers from the airport near La Laguna (at an altitude of 617 m) and the average temperature is only 16.5 ° C, and here a whopping 557 mm of precipitation falls annually.
Looking for the sunniest spot on the island? Head inland and move above the clouds – the Isagna Observatory records an average of 3,433 hours of sunshine per year.
High altitude
Tenerife is home to Spain’s highest mountain, Teide (3718 m), which is often covered in snow in winter. It is not uncommon for northern European tourists to bask in the sun in Puerto de la Cruz while enjoying the snowy peak of Teide.
Kalima
Sometimes when the wind blows from the east or southeast of the Sahara desert, the temperature rises sharply and the air becomes thick and covered with fine red dust. Although Tenerife has not been hit as hard by the phenomenon as the Eastern Canary Islands, temperatures can become unpleasant and dusty air can cause problems for people with respiratory problems.

The south is the least interesting part of the island for tourists because it lacks the heritage and charm of the north, and most of the towns are residential modern concrete structures with little architectural appeal. However, there are a few picturesque towns worth visiting in the east (Guimar, Candelaria) and Vilaflor on the southern slopes of El Teide. |

What does Celsius mean in temperature?
We often hear from various online discussion portals that some people do not understand what Celsius is at temperature. So when the weather forecast says that it will be 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in Tenerife, it doesn’t mean it’s a lot. Generally speaking, 20C is 63F, and also the “coldest” daily temperature during the winter months in Tenerife (from the middle January to the end of February). At the same time, in Palma Mallorca, the temperature can reach 11C, and in Malaga – 12C.
Ideal around 25°C (77F). In fact, this is the temperature that all the coasts of Tenerife experience all year round.
Here amazing things to do in Tenerife in winter.
It’s raining in Tenerife:
Yes, it rains in Tenerife, even in the south. However, it doesn’t rain too much or for too long. On the other hand, in the south, where it rains more, in winter it falls mainly at night and does not last long. Short-term and very heavy showers are common during seasonal changes. In addition, most of the precipitation will fall on the hills.
The sun shines brightly every day in Tenerife:
True, but not always in the same place and not all day. Blue skies are a fact in Las Cañadas del Teide. Everywhere you will find their share of cloudy days. Although on cloudy days in Tenerife you can see the sun often break through at some point.
Extreme climate Tenerife:
There have been several severe storms in recent years, but it is not clear if these were caused by climate change. But this is not a new weather phenomenon. During its history, Tenerife has faced some extreme climatic conditions.
Sea water temperature:
The sea water is warm enough to swim in Tenerife all years, but it also depends on the individual (what you consider too cold for you). In fact, there is little difference between the sea temperature in summer and winter. The bottom line is that diving into it at any time is great.
Most importantly:
Tenerife is renowned for its favorable, if not ideal, climate. Also, don’t miss the amazing whale and dolphin watching tour in Tenerife on a Freebird catamaran.

Tenerife weather
Tenerife has an average winter temperature of 20-22° and an average summer temperature of 26-28°. Ideal temperatures – never too cold and never too hot. Indeed, Tenerife is known as the “Island of Eternal Spring”. The weather in the south of Tenerife is usually hotter and drier than in the north of Tenerife.
The presence of the dormant volcano Teide in the center of Tenerife divides the island into two different climates. In the north, Tenerife is humid and filled with wonderful luxurious vegetation. In the south, the island is arid and dry, with more desert-like landscapes. Precipitation is rare during the summer months, and June and July are especially dry. Even during the winter months, Tenerife does not get much rain.

Holidays in Tenerife by months
The unique climatic conditions of the island give tourists the opportunity to visit the island at almost any time of the year. No wonder they say about Tenerife that eternal spring has settled on it. There is practically no rain here, the mountains provide reliable protection from the wind, and the water temperature never drops below 19degrees. The landscape of the island has an attractive magic that makes you come back here again and again. Family holidays with children, a youth trip for those who want to have noisy fun, a calm and comfortable vacation for a wealthy businessman – any tourist will find a suitable vacation option in Tenerife.
Climate Tenerife
The island lies entirely in a subtropical climate, but has about 30 microclimatic zones, so different places on the coast may differ in climatic conditions. In general terms, we can say that the north is cooler and wetter, and the south and west, respectively, are warmer. Rains here are very rare, and snow can only be seen at the top of the Teide volcano.
Temperature fluctuations throughout the year range from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the average values do not fall below +21 and do not exceed +27, which makes holidays in Tenerife comfortable throughout the year.
At night it gets a little cooler, but the temperature fluctuations are not significant at all. For the evening, just take a light jacket or sweatshirt with you.
There is very little rain in the southern resorts of Tenerife, most of the precipitation falls in the north and in the center of the island near the Teide volcano. In Tenerife, rains, if they happen, are very weak and short-lived – it will drip a little and that’s it.
When is the best time to go on holiday in Tenerife?
Tenerife’s high season runs from June to October. The largest number of tourists visit the island from July to August. The best time to visit Tenerife is September and October. Thanks to the blowing ocean breeze and low air humidity, there is no exhausting heat. The Atlantic Ocean during these months is maximally warmed up to 23 degrees and swimming in it is a pleasure. There are noticeably fewer tourists than in July-August. Prices, of course, are growing a little, but not so much as to refuse to rest because of this.
Low season in Tenerife – this concept is almost inapplicable for this resort, we can only talk about a slight decrease in the influx of tourists, which usually occurs in January and April. During these months the water is too cool for comfortable swimming.
Holidays on the island of Tenerife are good in their own way at any time of the year. Here you can find exactly the option that suits you.

Beach season in Tenerife
At the height of the swimming season in Tenerife in September and October, the water temperature is between 20-24 degrees. You can sunbathe in Tenerife throughout the year.
In this heavenly place, you can find a lot of interesting things to do besides swimming, but for fans of a beach holiday, we hasten to inform you: people swim here all year round! Indeed, even in the January off-season, the lowest temperature of ocean water is 19 degrees. Of course, not everyone will like such water, but in this case, 4-5 star hotels in Tenerife have heated pools.
Tenerife in spring
Tenerife’s spring state is felt throughout the year. By the way, the Coming of Spring – another of the many holidays that, among other things, the island is so rich in, is celebrated in the spring, on March 21st. March to May is warm, mild, dry weather. Light rain is rare in the north. Sunny during the day, slightly cool at night. Great sunbathing time, visiting various parks and attractions.
Tenerife in summer
Unlike most southern European resorts, Tenerife does not get very hot in summer. The maximum temperature is usually observed in August and is about 30 degrees Celsius, which, coupled with low humidity, gives quite a comfortable feeling. The days are sunny, and the sun is not “evil”, but suitable for sunbathing. Rain is possible only in the mountains, and even then no more than once a month. The water warms up to an ideal 22 degrees. For lovers of sports recreation on the water, the northern breeze blowing will come in handy! Summer holidays in Tenerife have another plus – a lot of fruits are grown on the island, which just ripen in the summer months. There are many tourists.
Tenerife in autumn
The autumn season on the island is slightly different from the summer. During the day everything is also hot, up to +25. Evenings and nights have become cooler, the temperature can drop to +17, so you should slightly warm up in clothes. But the water, as usual, is warm, the sun is gentle, so you can safely run to the beach. The amount of rain increases slightly – up to five per month on average, especially in the northwestern regions. This is due to the higher humidity of the microclimate, so in autumn the demand is increased for the resorts of the southern part of the island: Costa Adeje, Las Americas, Los Cristianos. In any case, autumn in Tenerife, with its sun, bathing ocean and natural beauty, compares favorably with the dull European slush, which manifests itself in the form of a good tourist flow compared to other resorts in Europe.
Tenerife in winter
The winter months are more like the usual not so hot summer. In the evening and at night, the coolness is felt more noticeably, but even a light sweater already saves from it. There is a little more rain, but they are short-lived, which is called “a light summer rain” or “it dripped and passed. ” In winter, lovers of discounts are very fond of relaxing – prices in Tenerife are reduced by about a quarter. The ocean is not so inviting for swimming – about +19 degrees, which significantly reduces the flow of tourists. When planning a trip, do not forget about the strong winds of the north coast, especially when you are going on an excursion to one of the wonderful National Parks of Tenerife. Dress warmly.
It’s time for holidays in Tenerife
Tenerife, as mentioned above, is under Spanish jurisdiction, respectively, and the inhabitants of the island adhere to the Catholic religion. These two facts explain the presence of a large number of church holidays, which are celebrated, however, quite secularly, with carnivals, processions, dances and other fiesta. Of the brightest, it is worth noting the “Holy Week”, which takes place before Easter. At this time, colorful processions of believers with religious symbols can be observed throughout the island. The Corpus Christi flower festival should also be noted, when large cities are covered with whole carpets of flowers. The celebration of the Day of Our Lady of Candelar (she is considered the patroness of the Canary Islands) looks very colorful, it is celebrated on August 14 and 15. And, of course, the Day of the Canary Islands – May 30, which is happening as violently and brightly as possible! Do not forget about the New Year and Merry Christmas, which are also honored on the island.
Carnival season in Tenerife
Peaks in February. It is called “Mardi Gras”. The largest actions are held in the capital of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The dry presentation was deliberately chosen, because any, even the most enthusiastic, replete with exclamation marks and other ahas, is still not able to convey even a small clip of the ongoing carnival riot. It’s just a must see! It is not for nothing that the Tenerife carnival is considered the second most beautiful in the world, right after the Brazilian one, which takes place in Rio de Janeiro. After the unbridled fun of the carnival, its end is marked by Great Lent.
