Climate of the island of Tenerife

The island of Tenerife is called the "island of eternal spring" for its warm and sunny climate. There is almost no change in the season, spring reigns all the time. Even when in the rest of Europe people hide from severe frosts, tourists in Tenerife sunbathe and bathe during the day and wear light sweaters in the evening. The climate of the island of Tenerife allows you to swim in the Atlantic Ocean all year round! In summer, the average air temperature is 24 degrees, and in winter - 18.

The difference between the average air temperatures of the warmest month and the coldest one is no more than 8 degrees. The water temperature throughout the year is about 24 degrees, can vary very slightly. This constancy in this place is explained by the influence of the Atlantic Ocean: in the cold months, the warm underwater currents of the ocean heat the air and water near the island, and in the warm months the winds from the ocean save the heat from the heat. Therefore, a holiday in Spain on the island of Tenerife will please tourists in any period of the year.

The Teide volcano divides the island into zones that differ in climate: the northern zone and the southern one. The north of the island is characterized by abundant lush vegetation, cold nights during the winter months and a more humid climate. In the northern regions, more than 80% of the total amount of precipitation falls on the island. In addition, it is often cloudy here. The south of the island is characterized by a constant temperature. The air temperature varies day and night more than 5 degrees. Yes, there to say, even the winter temperatures here differ little from summer temperatures! The mountain massif of the volcano does not allow cold winds from the north, therefore it is almost always warm and sunny here. As for the precipitation in the south of the island, they never overshadow the rest of tourists. Rains in these areas are rare and short-lived. If at 12 o'clock in the afternoon there was a heavy downpour, then at two o'clock in the afternoon very few people will remember that he was at all.
