Los Cristianos Tenerife Weather: Month by Month Guide

The weather in Los Cristianos, Tenerife, is mild all year rather than seasonal in the way British travellers might expect. The coolest stretch runs from December to February, with highs of 20 to 21°C and nights around 13 to 15°C. From April the days warm steadily, reaching 26°C in July and 28°C in August, when nights stay at a comfortable 20 to 22°C.

Rain is light and infrequent. Annual totals are small, and the wettest months by volume are March, at around 39mm, and June, at 30mm, though June's falls over just two days on average. February has the most wet days, at six. Of the twelve months, eleven count as good times to visit; February is the shoulder month, still warm by UK standards but the likeliest to bring a cloudy or showery spell.

January brings highs of 21°C, lows of 14°C and about four wet days, though only around 9mm of rain in total. February is the coolest month at 20°C by day and 13°C at night, with six wet days. March warms to 22°C but is the wettest month by volume, at about 39mm spread across five days.

April and May are among the driest months, with only two wet days each and highs of 23°C and 22°C. June reaches 24°C; its rainfall figure is higher but tends to arrive in a couple of short bursts. July is the classic dry month, 26°C with no recorded rain, and August is the warmest at 28°C, with nights of 22°C and just a single wet day on average.

Autumn stays warm. September sits at 25°C, October rises again to 26°C with lows of 20°C, and November still manages 24°C with only three wet days. December eases back to 21°C, which makes a winter sun break here a realistic alternative to grey British days. For anyone checking a 14 day, 21 day or 30 day weather forecast for Tenerife and Los Cristianos before departure, these averages are a useful benchmark for what is normal.

From June to October, pack for warm, dry days: light cotton clothing, a hat, high-factor sun cream and sunglasses, as highs run from 24°C to 28°C and nights rarely fall below 18°C. A thin layer is enough for evenings along the seafront or after a day at Siam Park, about 2 miles away.

Between November and May, days are still warm enough for the beach, but evenings drop to 13 to 16°C, so bring a light jumper or jacket. In February and March, when wet days are most frequent, a compact waterproof is worth the space. Comfortable walking shoes help if you plan to explore the Reserva Natural Especial del Malpaís de la Rasca or walk out towards the Punta Rasca Lighthouse, roughly 3 to 4 miles from town.
