Tenerife Weather

[Janet]

It's got very warm, which normally means cold air being sucked out into some approaching weather system, making it stronger ...

(I know some people poohpooh this but this is what the locals say, and meteorologists, and it matches my experience!!) ...

went for a stroll up the lane earlier and felt some rather large drops of rain ... but it's still keeping its cards close to its chest!

Cloudy all day here, with a few drops of rain, not enough to do any good though.

[Nova]

We have rain!  It's only light but the colour of the clouds suggests there's more to come!

[Malteser Monkey]

Cloudy again today folks ??  It's that  @macdonald5 bringing the Scottish weather with her

[Janet]

It is SO unnaturally warm! All that cold air being sucked out .... but still no-one knows if the rain front will reach us because it seems it's being held at bay by high pressure over west Africa ...

we could do with a good downpour!

[Nova]

It was 27 deg in Palm Mar. Now we're in Adeje it's 30!!

What happened to the rain that was forecast?

Aemet says that yesterday's and today's hot weather is not a calima, even though it feels like it, but is air from high levels which has warmed as it descended – and this is why we have the calima effect but without the usual dust content. As part of this front, characterized by weak trade winds and low humidity, the rains that were expected were actually discharged to the west of the islands, as in the satellite image below. The rains didn't materialise, and the current conditions seem set to be with us for the rest of the week. As to next weekend, that's a forecast yet to come!
