The weather in Tenerife is warm and sunny almost all year round, with temperatures ranging from the late teens in winter to above the mid twenties in the summer. The island is Spanish, but it's actually located close to the Atlantic coast of North Africa, which explains why it's sunny even in winter. Mount Teide divides the island in two, with the south enjoying drier, warmer winters than the slightly cooler, wetter north. November and December are the rainiest months, but the long, warm days mean Tenerife's still a great destination for a dose of winter sun.
