Tenerife Weather

[Myrtle Hogan-Lance]

Outside:  shorts, t-shirt, sunglasses, hat

Inside:  underwear, socks, leggings, t-shirt, pullover, tracksuit over all of that and down booties

This is our fourth winter and I still cannot come to grips with it being so delightful outside and freezing cold inside.  I've now got the temperature up to 17.4 inside and with the weather coming along, in a few days that will look good.

That's a very bold statement. Beg to differ, lots more settled warmer winter weather than the Canaries

Someone's just reported that the beach at Fañabe is half washed away (perhaps a bit of  hyperbole there but maybe not) and that "coastguard types" are stopping people going on the beach.

Clear blue skyes today, sea as flat as a mill pond and very blue, very warm. Up in Arafo clear skys no wind about 18% outside. Now bloody freezing inside I'm sat here and I can see my breath!!! Going to bed soon with my hot water bottle, thats if I can get it off the wife

So for you it's colder inside than outside too? 

I may have discovered a typo in your post G.  It said "if I can get it off the wife"; is the word 'with' missing perhaps?  Surely warmer than a hot water bottle.

Speaking of which, I have no idea what happened to the one I had before we moved.  No idea if they even sell them here.

yes, they do, all chemists have them

Loads of rain tomorrow.

This weather system is almost with us, and the Canarian Government has issued a pre-alert for snow from midnight in Tenerife, La Palma and Gran Canaria. Snow above 1,800m is all but guaranteed, and it might come lower. The rain that this weather front is bringing will not, they say, be at all as heavy as the last storm because it is connected to the "polar vector" rather than a tropical front, and so contains less humidity.
