Weather Forecast for Tenerife from 16th to 22nd August

Review of the Weather in Tenerife 9th August to 15th August

https://walkingtenerife.co.uk/

Last week has got to be one of the weirdest weeks for weather that you’ll find on Tenerife and proof that there are only two certainties in life.
We all know that rain at the coast on Tenerife just doesn’t happen in August…or do we?

The week started with reports of some rain along the south coast from Los Cristianos to Callao Salvaje. Then the calima moved in big time affecting the south, west, east and highlands. Temperatures soared to 40C with the hot winds having people rushing for the sanctuary of their A/C. Some joked they were putting their head in the oven to cool down. Because of the direction it arrives from, the calima doesn’t affect the north in the same way, so whilst most of the island baked in the hot calima wind, the north basked in sunny temperatures that remained a hot, but not unbearable 30C+.

Then it all changed again at the end of the week with another weather alert for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms on Sunday. So far reports suggest that what rain did fall was more like showers than anything worth calling rain. At the north coast there wasn’t even enough to leave a damp film on our bird bath.

In reality, it’s a shame that there wasn’t more rain. The calima can leave the island like a tinderbox and some decent rain would help reduce the risk of forest fires.
