The temperature is warm during the coldest UK winter months and temperatures average around 22 degrees Celsius
Brits seeking some autumnal sun and warmth don’t have far to look in November – with a Canary Island offering just that in the lead up to Christmas. Tenerife has daily highs of 73F (23C) ands the temperature does not drop below 68F (20C) between November and January.
Part of the reason for its near all-year-round heat is because of where it’s situated – Northern Africa and is the largest of Canary Islands in Spain.
Like its neighbour Lanzarote, it’s known for its impressive volcanic landscapes and a relaxed atmosphere. It also sits in a cluster with sister islands including Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura also nearby.
The island also has larger sea creatures swimming in its waters and watching dolphins frolic in the seas is an alternative to lying the pool or swimming in the sea.
For those who are feeling more active, hiking is recommended in addition to having a few drinks by the pool in lovely conditions.
Tenerife has many other attractions including Siam Park, Parque Rural de Anaga, Playa de las Teresitas, and Mount Tiede. It is also well known for its wild parties and a night at one of its clubs will allow you to experience its nightclubs.
The holiday hotspot attracts millions of tourists each year – and for good reason.
The nightlife is lively and varied enough to keep pretty much anyone happy, there are many restaurants with mouthwatering offerings, the island’s trademark black-sand beaches offer some stunning coastline, and the volcanic landscape is truly unforgettable.
Even in the coldest winter months, Tenerife weather averages around 22 degrees Celsius, so the popular island offers welcome relief from the brutal cold we’re used to in the UK at this time of year.
Tenerife is also home to the “world’s best waterpark” – Siam Park – which is open all year round.
This first opened its doors to guests back in 2008, and it has cemented its reputation as a perfect holiday excursion ever since. For nine years, it’s reported to have been voted the world’s best waterpark, and it has something to suit the whole family, whether you are looking for a fun day for your little ones, or you’re a serious thrillseeker.
The island, however, has recently hit by health warnings issued by Canary Islands authorities, resulting in a swimming ban at three popular Tenerife beaches.
Officials are urging locals and tourists alike to stay informed by following official updates and obeying signs in the affected areas to avoid unnecessary risks.
CECOPAL, the emergency response centre, announced via social media that red flags have been raised at Los Charcos, El Bloque, and Acapulco bathing areas due to poor water quality. This decision comes after recent water tests showed unsatisfactory results, sparking safety concerns.
Both the Anaga District and the Santa Cruz City Council have been informed and fully support the measure to ensure beachgoers’ safety. However, this isn’t the first health warning for the popular tourist spot.
