Las Americas Tenerife weather: Playa de las Américas by month

The temperature in Playa de las Américas stays remarkably even through the year. The Adeje climate station records highs of 20°C to 22°C from December to March, climbing to 24°C in June and peaking at 28°C in August. Nights are mild too: the lowest monthly average is 13°C in February, while August evenings hold around 22°C.

Rain is light and infrequent. Annual totals are modest, and no month averages more than six wet days. Eleven months of the year count as good months to visit, with February the single shoulder month, when it is a little cooler and slightly more unsettled. For a quick look at the coming days, the live forecast at the top of this page gives you the current Playa de las Américas weather before you book.

Winter, from December to February, brings highs of 20°C to 21°C and lows of 13°C to 15°C. February is the coolest and has the most wet days, six on average, which is why it is treated as the shoulder month. March is the wettest by volume at 39mm, though that falls over just five days, and highs reach 22°C.

April and May are among the driest months, with only two wet days each and highs of 22°C to 23°C, comfortable weather for walks out towards Punta Rasca Lighthouse and the Malpaís de la Rasca reserve. June warms to 24°C; its 30mm of rain arrives on just two days. July and August are the peak, at 26°C and 28°C with almost no rain, the months when Siam Park and Aqualand Costa Adeje come into their own.

Autumn stays warm. September reaches 25°C, October 26°C and November 24°C, with three or four wet days a month. For anyone checking Tenerife weather in Playa de las Américas for a half-term or late-autumn trip, these months still feel like summer by UK standards. School-holiday weeks are the most sought after, so it is worth comparing package deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach here early.

From June to October, think summer clothes, swimwear, high-factor sun cream, a hat and sunglasses; with highs of 24°C to 28°C and evenings staying around 18°C to 22°C, you will rarely need more than a light layer. Bring water shoes if you plan a day on the slides at the water parks or along the rockier coves.

From November to May, pack for warm days and cooler evenings. Highs of 20°C to 24°C are fine for the beach, but nights dropping to 13°C to 16°C call for a jumper or light jacket, especially in February. A compact waterproof is sensible between December and March, when four to six wet days a month are typical, and sturdy shoes help if you plan to explore the lava landscape of the Malpaís de la Rasca.
