Tenerife Weather 4 to 10 July
Once again we spent part of the week elsewhere, sweltering in Madrid where oppressive temperatures of 38C made us realise exactly why so many Spanish mainlanders head to the near perfect climate of the Canary Islands in the summer. Returning to Tenerife the weather felt wonderfully fresher, even though there was an alert in place for high temperatures here. We just missed an alert for high winds and rough seas, although the fact that everything on our terrace was exactly where we left it suggested high winds didn’t affect our part of the north of Tenerife (Orotava Valley and Puerto de la Cruz). From Thursday to Sunday it was simply very hot and sunny. Unfortunately this is the time of year when forest fires are most likely. Two broke out towards the end of the week, one in La Esperanza and one in La Victoria. Thankfully both were brought under control quickly.
