Tenerife Weather

[Delderek]

Strange little Island, this is the temp in Los Cris 2 mins ago first reading is actual temp second is what it feels like. Many residents move out or up to areas away from the coastal strip, then moan because it's cold.

We learned through renting the first few months that you do not want to go above 600m if you want that Tenerife feeling.  Granadilla is one of the coldest places I have ever been to.  We looked at a house in Vilaflor which was colder inside than outside; I reckon it was about 12 inside. 

In any case we ended up at 580m (ground floor - it goes up from there) which is not too bad, but, we are on the lower slopes of a mountain and of course the mountain attracts cloud.  I wouldn't trade it for anything but I moved to Tenerife for cloudless blue skies and sunshine and 25 degrees every day. 

Throw on some socks; this too shall pass.

It's going to be a warm weekend, with south Tenerife on yellow alert for temperatures to 34º. The alert is currently active until 9pm Saturday evening, but as often, it's likely to be extended. Please do take care in the heat and bear in mind the safety recommendations above.

Not just a warm weekend. The heatwave that's coming our way tomorrow is said to be "intense" and expected to last until Thursday next week at least. At present, although hot, we have trade winds cooling the air somewhat. From tomorrow, the wind will shift so that it's coming from the east. There won't be any relief: la bestia ("the beast" from Africa) is returning. With this, of course, comes a fire risk that is now said to be "extreme", as shown in the above fire risk graphic. Political and meteorological authorities have begged the public to maintain the utmost awareness and to take the utmost caution to avoid fire in the tinderbox that we'll be living in for the next week or so.
