Weather in Tenerife in April

Is April a good time to visit Tenerife?

Even though April in Tenerife can be counted as spring, the seasons here change little all year round. There may be a small increase in temperature during April as the islands head for summer, basically the weather is as pleasantly warm, sunny and tranquil as it is most of the year in this sub-tropical island off of the West African coast, which is tempered by trade winds and the cold Atlantic current.

Slip on your flip-flops, shades and shorts when you jet off to Tenerife for a spring holiday, but don’t forget a couple of cardigans and trousers for the cool evenings, and your sun-tanning paraphernalia for days beside the seaside. You may well work up a sweat in the island discos, but basically be prepared for warm, sunny rather than sizzling hot, weather conditions. Don’t forget your shopping list and credit card, because Tenerife has plenty of designer retail therapy on offer, and electrical goods are well worth buying.
