Canaries

Weather

Of course, one thing that makes the Canaries so popular is that they enjoy plenty of sunshine throughout the year with temperatures regularly breaking into the high to low 30s at the height of summer. Read on for an overview of weather in the Canaries.

• In January and February, you can expect glorious temperatures of 17 and 18 degrees Celsius across the islands - a stark contrast to the UK’s freezing weather. There’s no such thing as winter in the Canaries!
• In March and April, the temperature increases a few figures to 19 degrees with the advent of spring. Easter is a popular time to visit the Canaries so book in far advance to get a good deal.
• May enjoys hotter weather again with average temperatures of around 20 degrees across the Canary Islands.
• In June, the Canaries welcome summer with average temperatures of 21 and 22, but don’t be surprised if the hottest days hit the mid 20s. Pack sunscreen and remember to stay hydrated.
• In July and August, the Canaries enjoy their hottest weather with the temperature fluctuating between the mid to high 20s. Fortunately, the cool sea breeze keeps things manageable.
• In September and October, you can expect much of the same with the temperature still firmly in the low to mid 20s.
• The Canaries cool down ever so slightly in November and December. 20 is common around this time of year but don’t be surprised if some days hit 24. Why not spend next Christmas on the beach?
