The weather in January very much depends on where you are because there are many contrasts and micro-climates in Tenerife; for example, in North Tenerife it is usually colder and is more inclined to rain, than in the south where the sun is pretty much guaranteed.  Tenerife weather for January , like February, is perhaps the most unpredictable.

It’s an amazing feeling to be bathing in the sea (or pool) while watching the snow Teide although, be aware, the sea will be cold no matter what the weather and very few hotels heat their pools. Check with your hotel before you book!  If you ever catch a day with real bad weather, and January is the most likely month for rain, you can still visit the rest of the island with it’s spectacular scenery and endless activities to do.

The question is the north or in the south ?  In the south in general you will have no problem with the weatherbut in the north it is a little more variable, maybe rain, spitting, occasionally a tropical downpour  or you could enjoy a splendid sunny week!  Heavy rain in the south is quite unlikely, especially for any length of time.

With regard to clothing, it is advisable to bring lightweight, holiday gear, but don’t forget something warmer (jacket or sweater) especially if you’re moving around the island. One of the biggest surprises of the island is the contrast in temperature between one area and another so best go prepared. For example, if you go to La Laguna, do not forget to wear warm clothes even if you feel ridiculous coming out of the hotel in the south.

Historical figures taken from Tenerife South Airport Max.temperature in Tenerife in March is 23 degrees on average with 8 hours of sun a day. Rainfall in Tenerife in March 7mm over 4 days. Average Humidity is 66%.

The climate of Tenerife is very mild and temperate in all seasons. There is zero chance of intense cold or overbearing heat like you might get in Egypt.  Although it depends on the area where you are, this can be applied to most coastal areas. You will not have problems in March if you come to the south, the weather here is much drier and will not rain as much as in the north.

March is a somewhat unpredictable month when the weather could follow the previous month or go head on into summer with daily improvements in the weather, the hours of sun and lack of rain.  Some years the March weather can surprise, starting of like the weather in May and ending more like that in Ferbruary.

In the south of the island the odds of good weather are high (when I say good weather, I mean about 24º but breezy). If you go to the north of the island, you may be somewhat cloudy and cool (about 16 °). If you go up to Teide, after crossing the sea of ​​clouds, it is usually clear. The weather on the summit of the island is usually cool and somewhat windy.

My advice is to wear clothes with short sleeves (even something lighter) but take sweater or two.  Normally the temperature is always reasonable, about a 19 to 24 degrees even in the north, but with the wind factor  sometimes can feel cooler.  On the subject of rain, sometimes it rains (especially in the north) but rarely all day, and it’s rather more like quick showers.

July is perhaps the best month to visit Tenerife, assuming you are coming for the sun.  The daytime temperature are pretty much the same as August but it’s not quite as hot at night, something you will be grateful for if you’re accommodation doesn’t have air-conditioning, or if, like me, the air-con gives you a sore throat and you don’t like using it.

The downside of July is the price of course – prime school holiday season – so if money is tight but you must come in July, try and make it right at the start, or perhaps start your holiday at the end of June going into July.  The July weather will still be perfect but it will be a fair bit cheaper.

Tenerife weather in August is just about as good as it gets if you are a sun lover.  In the south you are guaranteed sun with no rain, and pretty much the same in the North as well.  It’s also a time when the kids are out full swing as it’s school holidays.  This means your holiday will be more expensive and there will be a lot of kids round the pool and on the beach.

If you prefer a more moderate climate, you might want to give August a miss and consider September or October.  Some people, especially the older generation prefer the weather in Tenerife in the later month as it’s less overwhelming yet still more than sunny enough to be considered excellent weather.

September heralds the beginning of change after the summer season.  At the start of September you will find the weather in Tenerife is very similar to the previous month, but as September goes on the temperature will drop slightly and the risk of rains increases although is very slight and won’t last for long, just a light shower.  For younger people with no school holidays to work around, it can be a perfect time to visit Tenerife.

September is a time when the ‘swallows’ begin to return to Tenerife, the people that come every year to avoid the cold in their own country but enjoy the less extreme weather in Tenerife in September and perhaps the rest of the winter months.  Mid September can be a quirt time as there are fewer families but the ‘swallow’ season has barely yet begun.

October in Tenerife is quite magical.  Although it heralds the coming of winter there is still much about the weather to be envied.  The rain, if it disturbs you at all with be very light and quickly over before the sun comes out again.  The rest of the time you could well compare the weather with a prefect summer day back in the UK.

The ‘swallows’, the people who come to Tenerife for the winter months, continue to arrive in more numbers and the island changes somewhat from families to a mix of younger people without families and older people escaping the british winter for a few weeks.  Of course, there will be the dreaded ‘half-term’ when prices go up and families arrive for that week but less so than in the summer.
