When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Europe's only reliable winter sun — air 21–29°C every month. Tenerife splits sharply: the south (Costa Adeje, Los Cristianos) is dry and sunny; the north sits under the panza de burro cloud bank from May to September. The 2023 Tenerife wildfire was driven by extreme calima — hot dry Saharan dust wind that can spike temperatures into the 40s for a few days.
