Climate in Tenerife Spain and weather go hand in hand but...

Apartment

Climate in Tenerife and weather have almost become clichées internationally, while most know that the south of the island is more arid for getting less rains and clouds and that the north is the opposite.

However, lately, those climatic differences don't seem to be as big as they used to be.

If there were Tourism Olympics for best climatic and weather conditions for most reliable conditions for sun holidays and healthy living in Tenerife, the island would most probably get the gold medal if there wasn't Tenerife winter.

Even though, just look at the millions of winter hibernating tourists that keep on coming with cheap flights Tenerife every November to stay for often 5 months.

Tenerife winter is rainy season and not Monsoon time but, November until April inclusive can bring rains which are very often recurring showers.

The general differences between 17 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius over the year are very acceptable while general temperature fluctuations are usually insignificant.

Why I love the island's climate:

• for its autumn and spring time and mild winter days;
• for its clouds and changing climatic scenery in the north;
• for the ability to spend time outside almost, always;
• for the figurative contagious climate created by a
  warm Tenerife people with love of life and celebrations:

So have Tenerife's sea side climate
as well as mountain climate.

Relative humidity is often around 70 %. Nevertheless, cars by Tenerife coasts don't seem to rust like they did when I lived in Durban South Africa by the Indian Ocean where humidity in summer often was about 80 and 85%.

So why is the climate in Tenerife with its relative high humidity so much more pleasant?

Tenerife climate changes by coasts opposed to altitudes:

Would you believe that an enormous difference of climate may be within the small Tenerife island where Mount Teide is covered in snow right into April while bananas, oranges and papayas grow on the island's orchards and tourists swim in winter with 18 or 19 degrees Celsius in the Atlantic?

The sea water temperature reaches about 24 degrees Celsius by July/August.

Needless to say is that climate in Canadas del Teide is unique.

Tenerife oxidation, weathering and care for Tenerife property:

Oxidation of thin untreated metal due to the climate in Tenerife is quite strong and, everything like metal door hinges inside and outside should be brushed with rust protection, varnish or paint, at least every 2 years. That's the recommended number given by paint companies.
Wood outside on a balcony, for instance, is of course vulnerable and requires oiling with teak or linseed oil and or varnishing or painting in Tenerife due to its island climate.

A holiday home in Tenerife needs almost as much care as a home everywhere else. The only difference being is that you can look after your property, almost all year round, because, the weather on the biggest Canary Island opposite Morocco permits working outside, almost, all year round.

And, don't worry about snow and hurricane damage in the Canary Island region where Tenerife belongs to.

A five day weather forecast came true. After the foreseen period nights were more windy and cooler and a couple of overcast days were sneaking in. What a nice change to climate in Tenerife...

Strong winds, gales and rare Tornado like storms:

When winds get out of hand in spring or autumns, once in a while, then, the
Media loves it for
being able to make a big thing out of it. There were storms on the island I wasn't even aware of and slept right through the night.

Protect your holiday home against storm!

However, never leave your holiday home unattended with stuff on balconies, on verandas and in gardens. Things moved by Tornado like forces during unusual climatic conditions in Tenerife can in some cases cause havoc and damage other property or people. Move things into shelters and see that everything is well secured.

Learn how the climate in Tenerife also depends on global warming, which may bring gale force winds, such as cyclone Xynthia of 2010 which did much damage in France but was only called a Deltita by Tenerife locals.
