Tenerife weather reviews

Veronica, May 2023
Together with my colleagues and friends we went on vacation to Tenerife. This is, of course, not the right season for a beach holiday, because the water was still cool. But overall, we were very pleased with the trip. We didn’t want to stay in the hotel; we went on excursions and walked a lot. We went on beach picnics several times. The temperature was spring and quite warm. The entire week of vacation was cloudless, without rain or cold wind, and the sun was quite warm. But in the evening, of course, it became cool. Overall, not bad, it was a vacation.

Last year I had a vacation in May and I decided to fly to the Canary Islands, or rather Tenerife. This island captivated me with its beautiful landscapes. The weather was great, warm during the day, but not hot, cooler in the evening. It was possible to swim in the ocean, but not for long, since the water does not warm up much at this time. There is practically no rain here. A very beautiful place to relax. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Good afternoon, I'm here to tell you about my trip to Tenerife. I went in May, on a last-minute tour. I was told that it would be cool there and there was no hope of even going into the ocean. But to my surprise, it was very warm there +22 +25. It was very comfortable. There were sunny moments mixed with mostly cloudy days. But the magnificent landscapes corrected the whole situation. And I also went swimming, the water was about +19. It was invigorating and I liked it. The hotel had everything you needed. Nothing to complain about. Of course you need to go there for the views of nature. Unforgettably
