Tenerife Weather

[Nova]

testing ...

FB videos always worked before ... 

edit: yes seems fine without a video in it ...

You've probably never quoted other posts and embedded a FB video in the same post before...

The Cabildo has reminded the public that all access roads to the Teide National Park are closed at present, with the map HERE always showing the up-to-date situation. Carreteras has released the following video of road teams working to clear the snow! Meanwhile, the Canarian Government has lifted its alert for tormentas: the weather system won't clear us completely for a few days but it is passing.

Wow!!!!

Rather cool here, Valverde El Hierro 12ºc now, we have had slight dollops of wet stuff falling from the sky. The locals tell me that they have never known snow here, but a long time ago they had a hail shower.

it felt around that temperature this morning too ... but at Los Roques, not even the lower cable car station, let alone the upper one!  Unbelievably cold wind, with sharp snow, like little arrows, was probably sleet, but it was snowing properly in parts.

just posted this on my website:

Councils and other authorities have been put on standby for heavy rains to affect parts of Tenerife this evening, particularly in the north and metropolitan areas. Rain may be torrential at times, and meanwhile, the Guardia Civil says that it has had to assist some 70 individuals in around 30 vehicles who had gone up to see the snow and become stuck or needed help. The two main access roads from the north remain closed but the caldera can still be reached from the south though the authorities ask the public to avoid the area during this spell of bad weather which saw temperatures plummet to -14º at the upper Teleférico station the night before last.

As the Guardia Civil said last night, it has had to assist some 70 individuals in around 30 vehicles who had gone up to see the snow and become stuck or needed help. Now, this morning, with snow, ice and temperatures well below zero in the caldera and above, emergency assistance association AEA (Ayuda en emergencias Anaga) has requested official help to locate a vehicle and its occupants in the national park above La Orotava. Mountain search and rescue teams are deployed in the attempt, and the Cabildo again asks the public to be prudent and take sensible precautions in what are extreme conditions, and ideally not to go to up the mountain while this weather persists even if access roads are open.

You will probably have to turn on your side to see this properly.

The rainbows are back and everybody at the Balcón is snapping away.
