Tenerife Weather

[Marion]

Well we'll be landing about 12.30 tomorrow lunch time so know doubt we'll feel the heat as soon as the airplane doors open. Regarding the "bring it on, it can't ever be too hot" mentality, we can't kid ourselves by claiming this isn't the case! The majority of people that holiday or relocate to destinations such as Tenerife do so due to the warmer climate but unfortunately common sense seems to go out the window (probably due to alcohol) once they get there.

We all know that we should cover up and/or use a high factor sun cream, stay out of mid afternoon sun and always stay highlighted but again unfortunately some take the later to mean they can drink plenty of beer! As a result of the beer the precautions tend to get forgotten.

So in my own opinion there is nothing wrong with the heat (unless it is of course 40-50 degrees) as long as you are sensible.

Which colour of highlighter do you find best? 

[Janet]

it'll be the east and south coasts that get it worst, and everywhere in the medianías.

Which colour of highlighter do you find best? 

Some of those sun burns are a definite orange sharpie colour 

How hard can it be to spell hydrated?

Isn't predictive text wonderful !!

At last the heat is starting to dissipate though it will do so gradually and will take a few days to be fully noticeable, and as always it will be more appreciable in the medianías where the heat has been fiercest. From today, Tenerife is no longer on Aemet yellow alert for heat, though until further notice we are still on Government alert for high temperatures, and the Cabildo's ban on fires and fire risk activities in the mountains remains in place. It won't be the last heatwave of the summer, I'm sure, but this one is now starting to pass.

It is not noticeably passing at altitude.  It's too damned hot!

[Nova]

Same here 

[Marion]

Still warm here and very dusty! 

[Michael]

Still warm here and very dusty!

Agreed. The far end of the cliffs is still very hard to see and La Gomera is nowhere to be seen.
