What Makes Tenerife a Great Vacation Place

Are you planning to enjoy your holidays to Tenerife? If yes, you made the right decision. Tenerife is a favorite destination of tourists due to its beautiful beaches, gorgeous valleys and mountains, ancient ruins, charming towns, thriving communities, and friendly people. Actually, lots of visitors think that Tenerife is the closest thing to an ideal paradise.

Part of the reason Tenerife is great with visitors is its mild climate. Dubbed as the Isla de la Eterna Primavera, or "Island of Eternal Spring" Tenerife has a warm climate all throughout the year having 26- to 28-degree-Celsius temperatures during the summer months. During the winter months, the temperature decreases to an average of 20 to 22 degrees Celsius. The pleasant climate is due to tradewinds whose humidity is condensed over the north and northeast side of Tenerife. In addition, cold sea currents of the Atlantic have a cooling effect on the beaches of the island. The topography of Tenerife also contributes a lot to the climatic differences in the valleys, massifs, plains, and mountains of the island.

During cold season, it is possible to still bask in the sunshine at the beaches. But just a few miles inland and at 3,000 meters above sea level, the land would experience a gentle fall of snow. Thus, it is recommended to bring warm clothing even if you are at the beach basking in the sun.

Additionally, at low altitude, climes may differ significantly. For instance, the southeastern side of the island features an arid climate while the northwestern side has a Mediterranean climate.

Summer is from May to September, and the land is usually dry. Rainfall is quite erratic from one year to another. Overall yearly precipitation is quite low. The north of the island receives 73 percent of the overall precipitation in Tenerife.
