Tenerife Weather

[Janet]

There was quite a variation in the atmospheric models for last weekend's weather, and in the end, those which said the rain would not reach us were correct. For this coming weekend, however, all the models appear to agree, and meteorologists are unanimous in forecasting rain from Saturday. At least one polar front is set to bring cold and wet weather as far south as the Canaries, it seems, as can be seen in the following animation from Efemérides Meteorológicas Canarias, and so rain and a significant drop in temperatures are just around the corner, it would appear.

As forecast, the first weak wave of the polar front arrived from the north yesterday. The rains didn't get further than north Tenerife, but they made themselves felt there, washing out the main Plaza del Charco in Puerto de la Cruz yesterday afternoon and causing the town to suspend last night's Noche de Blanco shopping event – there is not yet a decision on whether it is postponed or cancelled. Today, as the weather system continues to arrive, moderate to heavy showers should reach further south, perhaps leaving only the southern tip of the island with clear weather, though there is a yellow alert in place for rain in south, east and west Tenerife for tomorrow (see image below). What should be noticeable even there, however, is the drop in temperatures associated with this "polar irruption", which is forecast to be with us throughout much of the coming week.

While I'm posting about this, I'd like to reiterate the message in a news report HERE about a near drowning yesterday in Puerto de la Cruz. One aspect of this weather front is costeros (rough seas) with a 5m swell which Aemet has included in its alert – (image below). The sea will be rougher and colder than it might appear to a superficial glance. Please be extremely careful in the sea, and have a look HERE on the risks that Tenerife's waters can pose, and how to enjoy them safely, and HERE for how to stay safe in storms, including stormy seas, generally.
