Climate in Canary Islands

Located 100km off the western shores of Morocco, the 8 main islands in this Spanish archipelago are best known for their hot, sunny summers.

Precipitation throughout the year is very scarce. During the summer months, it’s possible to go many weeks without a single drop of rain. This changes only slightly during the winter months where light showers bring 30-45mm per month.

Air temperatures are relatively consistent year round. In the summer months, the daily averages range between 21°C and 26°C, while in the winter the range drops by a few degrees to 17°C to 21°C.

Water temperatures in the surrounding Atlantic Ocean are comfortable all year, ranging between 19°C and 23°C.
