Tenerife Weather for January

18°C / 64°F | 21°C / 70°F | 66mm | 61% | 8 Hrs |
January is generally the coldest month of the year. The best area if you are seeking the sun is by far the south of the Island. Temperatures drop during the early mornings and during the evenings so it’s essential to have a jacket or cardigan with you just in case it gets too chilly. The higher levels suffer the greatest temperature changes, especially throughout and after the occasional storm when it quite often snows in the mountainous areas.

The weather for February follows the same pattern as January, being one of the coldest months of the year. It is also one of the months that are prone to more rainfall, which, unfortunately, can coincide with the Carnival activities. Cloudy skies are quite normal during this month in the North of the Island and cloud banks are quite often formed in medium level areas (ranging between 600 and 1,800m high). Expect to experience spells of overcast skies in the South of the Island as this is quite common at this time of year.

What is a Calima?
Calima is the local term used in the Canaries for the presence of airborne dust that comes from the African continent, mainly from the Sahara desert and the Sahel region. During bad episodes of Calima the air develops a dense appearance, turning a reddish colour and visibility is reduced.
