Tenerife is internationally known as the eternal spring Island. His geographic location, so close to the African continent makes you think of a more dry and warm weather, but it is not the case due to the Alisios, a wind stream. The local orography and the cold maritime stream is responsible of the fresh temperatures in Tenerife beaches.
In general, the weather in the Island is very soft, warm and moderated during all seasons of the year. There aren’t periods of intense cold or very high temperatures. The average temperature is around 18°C/62°F in winter and it reaches around 25°C/81°F degrees in summer.
