As the live forecast above shows, Tenerife offers mild winter sun and warm summers, making it a year-round escape, though conditions vary noticeably by coast and altitude.
What is the typical weather in Tenerife right now?
Tenerife sits south of the UK’s typical weather systems, so the live forecast above gives a reliable snapshot for the south coast resorts. Expect more cloud and cooler temperatures in the north, and noticeably cooler, wetter conditions in the hills above 1,000 metres.
- South coast resorts (Adeje, Las Américas) are usually sunnier and a few degrees warmer than the north (Puerto de la Cruz).
- Sea temperatures stay above 18°C year-round, so swimming is possible in every season.
- If the live forecast above shows south-coast cloud, try the north coast or the higher slopes of Mount Teide for clearer skies.
How does Tenerife weather change by month?
Winter (December to February) stays pleasantly warm on the south coast, while summer (June to September) is hot and dry. Spring and autumn offer a balance of warmth and lower crowds.
- Tenerife weather December: Still mild, with daytime highs around 23°C on the south coast; occasional rain showers, especially in the north.

What is the weather in Tenerife over 10 or 14 days?
For the most accurate outlook, check the live forecast above — it updates regularly. The island’s microclimates mean a 10-day forecast for UK weather is less reliable than for Tenerife, but a weather in Tenerife 10 days or tenerife weather 14 days view is usually dependable for the south coast.
Is there a reliable 30-day forecast for Tenerife?
Extended outlooks (30 days) can indicate general trends — such as a spell of trade-wind cloud — but are not accurate for day-to-day planning. Stick to the tenerife weather forecast 30 days only as a broad guide.
How does Tenerife compare with other Canary Islands?
Tenerife is slightly less windy than Lanzarote weather and Gran Canaria weather, but has more varied microclimates due to Mount Teide. For consistent south-coast sun, it matches or beats both islands in winter.
