Scientists, after a series of observations, recognized that the climatic conditions of the Canary Islands are the most favorable for people of all ages. The climate here is very mild, with a minimum average annual temperature amplitude. In addition, this is the only one of all European resorts, where you can bask in the beach all year round, because even in January the air here gets warm to +22 degrees Celsius.

Tenerife is located in the center of the island group and is the largest of the whole range of the Canary Islands. This is a unique place where eternal May reigns, in winter it does not get too cold here, and in summer you do not have to suffer from debilitating heat. And the whole point is that near the coastline there are warm currents that do not allow to cool the air in the winter months, in the summer the cool tropical wind brings a cool wind - a trade wind that is born over the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

The island of eternal spring

Water in the resorts of Tenerife also has a fairly constant temperature of +21 ° C. Only here in the winter months there is often a storm here, and sometimes a red warning flag is posted on the shore, signaling that bathing is prohibited.

In the center of the island is the sleeping Teide volcano, in winter its top is covered with snow, but surrounded by its groves with abundant tropical vegetation .Conditionally, he divides the island into two zones - the drier and hot southern, and the northern part, where it is not so warm, but the climate is softer and the landscapes much richer .Therefore, those who prefer beach holidays, it is better to choose the resorts of the south of Tenerife, and those who also count on an extensive excursion program, the ray to go to its northern part, where, by the way, is the administrative center of the island .

This is surprising, but a relatively small area of ​​Tenerife, due to its unique geographical location, as well as peculiar relief features, is divided into twenty-eight microclimatic zones .Therefore, in one part of the island can be pouring rain, while on the opposite shore will shine a bright sun, and in the center can generally snow and go .This has affected the diversity of landscapes, there are also tropical thickets, and desert areas resembling the surface of Mars, and magnificent plains, and of course, beaches with white sand .
