When to visit

The climate across the Canary Islands is mild year-round, with relatively minimal seasonal change. That said, southern areas of both Tenerife and La Gomera see most sun and record the higher temperatures, while the north tends to be cooler, with more rainfall. Inland from the coast, higher terrain means temperatures become progressively colder, with Tenerife s Mount Teide often experiencing freezing temperatures and occasional snow cover. High season is during the European winter, and places get especially busy from mid-December to February, when temperatures hover around 20°C. The islands are also popular at Easter and during summer holidays (June Sept) when temperatures can get up to 30°C. A low season of sorts exists between these times, with the notable exception of the carnival period (Feb or March), when Santa Cruz is at its busiest.
