Tenerife Weather

Can I warn you on a week later in the year which will see rain / cloud / wind most of the week, 25th October - 1st November. Holiday makers you have been warned avoid these dates 

[Janet]

well I don't know what it's like on the coast but here in the medianías we have a howling calima ... hard to breathe, trees bent double in gale-force winds! Like an industrial sized hairdryer behind a desert ...

I'm out on my terrace because for now it's still cooler than inside; it's still in the shade as the sun hasn't come round yet.  But the sky is behind a thick veil  and La Gomera is completely invisible - you wouldn't know there were anything there!

Glad you resurrected this thread

well if I go off radar it's because the howling Sahara which is in my garden right now keeps knocking the internet off ...

Wow,as bad as that?

[Janet]

yes, absolutely howling gale of hot dirty air ...

I just don't understand people who say "ooh goodie" when they're told a calima's coming. I hate them with a vengeance.

Hope it passes quickly.

forecast is for it to start to freshen from Sunday ... they don't normally last more than three or four days, occasionally a week ... rarely a fortnight, after which one tends to get a little bit suicidal ...

Made the mistake of putting towels out to dry on my balcony one calima !  They were turned pink by the sand although they did dry in less than an hour !!!
