Weather Forecast for 15 to 21 February
Despite reading yet again that you can’t trust the weather forecast for Tenerife, the Spanish Met Office got it spot on. The first half of the week was mainly sunny whereas the second half of the week saw an army of weather alerts bring wind, cold temperatures, rain, wild seas and snow… a lot of snow. So much that there have been videos on facebook of the Guardia Civil skiing in Teide National Park. Weather on Tenerife never fails to amaze. We experienced conditions on two islands – one minute in warm sunshine, the next monsoon rain and black clouds; these ever changing conditions might go some way to explaining some conflicting reports from parts of the island. As the weather front affected all of the Canary Islands it seemed unlikely anywhere escaped it. Friends who are staying in the south of the island hit us with a ‘what have you done with the weather this week?’ when we spoke to them yesterday, going on to talk of notes being pushed under the door of their hotel room warning them to batten down the hatches. In the Orotava Valley we were consigned to the house on Friday and Saturday as Biblical amounts of rain fell. It was a spectacular end to the week. And at the end of it all El Teide looks absolutely stunning.

The sun will be back for the weekend but there will also be a good chance of rain everywhere.

There will be a 25/30% chance of rain on those days, rising to 85% over the weekend. Temperatures mirror those of the north.

The Tenerife Weather This Time in 2015
So what happened this time last year? ‘Although there was a weather alert for rough seas and strong winds (which amounted to no more than a stiff breeze in the Orotava Valley), there was a definite feel of a change of seasons in the air with the sun feeling that little bit hotter…’
