Please note:
It’s important to remember that the Canary Islands are full of micro-climates due to the mountainous areas. This means all forecasts and temperatures are general for the island, and not location specific. It will obviously be colder at altitude up mountains, and warmer in sheltered coastal areas, but can be very different just a few kilometres away.
