Tenerife Weather

[Anne 2009]

Right now we have 9º ... actually feels even colder than that!

Crikey, that's low. It's 12 here.

[Janet]

It's 12º here now too! Full cloud cover ...

general chaos in the islands because of high winds, at least at altitude. The Teleférico is shut, no flights to La Gomera, ferries in difficulty off Lanzarote, a 30m pylon blown over in Gran Canaria ...

Here it's cold but total calm, at least in the western hills! Was in Palm Mar and Las Chafiras on Friday and by god it was windy. Don't know what it's like on the coast today!

Temps in the minus figures here ...  Izaña, where the observatory is, registered -2.1º at midday!

[Janet]

There have been alerts over the past few days because of the weather front which has already started crossing the archipelago, and now the Canarian Government has issued a specific alert for "tormentas" – stormy weather – from 3am tonight in Tenerife and all islands east (see image below, click to enlarge). The Government's official advice for staying safe in tormentas is HERE in English.

Wow, the climate is seriously fucked up

Wow, the climate is seriously fucked up 

It's all my fault. I was explaining to somebody in Canada that it had not rained here in two years, and just as I hit "send" it started raining. 

[Nova]

Yeah that would do it
