Tenerife Climate

Warm semi-arid climate with remarkably consistent weather year-round. The south of Tenerife averages over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually; the airport rarely sees rain. Winter temperatures hold at 18–23°C, summer at 26–30°C.

The dominant disruption risk is the Calima, a hot, dusty wind from the Sahara (typically February and July–August) that reduces visibility and occasionally causes diversions. Wind on approach can be strong due to the island's volcanic terrain creating turbulence. TFS is among the most reliable airports in Europe operationally.
