Clima Ilhas Canárias

The climate of the Canary Islands is probably the most powerful element to attract millions of tourists and residents every year. A sub-tropical oceanic climate which is almost the whole year round constantly, but with a great difference between the islands and even between the North and the South of one single island. From the driest islands Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, with only 150 - 200mm rain a year, the old volcano the Teide with most of the months snow on the top to the green humid island La Palma with green forests and the sand dunes on Gran Canaria which looks like the Sahara.


The warm and dry climate, mainly at the South side of the islands, is comfortable in the winter and mostly between 22 and 29 degrees Celsius. This makes the Canaries very attractive for sun vacations in the winter and especially for thousands of residents who are spending the whole winter on one of the islands. Many people who are suffering from arthritis, rheumatism or asthma are getting a new live here, thanks to the gentle, dry and constantly warm climate.
