Calima and Rising Temperatures Mark Tenerife’s Friday Weather

Hazy and Windy Friday Sets Stage for Summery Weekend

The weather forecast for this Friday in Tenerife will be characterised by rising temperatures, calima (Saharan dust haze), and wind gusts, which will become strong in some areas. This is according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), which predicts a day with widespread cloud but generally stable conditions, acting as a precursor to the summery weather expected over the weekend. During Friday, thermometers on the island will range between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, with both minimum and maximum temperatures on the rise.

Detailed Forecast for Tenerife

The Aemet forecast for the province of Tenerife, as reported by EFE, indicates widespread high cloud, with intervals of low cloud in the north during the early hours below 700 or 900 metres altitude. Calima will affect mid-altitude areas and summits most, particularly later in the day on the southern slopes. Temperatures will rise slightly on the coasts and moderately in mid-altitude and highland areas, with a notable increase possible locally on the peaks.

A moderate north-easterly wind is expected in low-lying areas, with occasional strong intervals in the far northwest and southeast coast, where locally very strong gusts cannot be ruled out. A light to moderate southerly wind will blow in mid-altitude and highland areas, with strong intervals on the central summits where locally very strong gusts are possible. Sea breezes are forecast for the west coast. The predicted minimum and maximum temperatures for Santa Cruz de Tenerife are 18°C and 25°C.
