Fuerteventura in January
Around 18.5 °C by day, sea 19.4 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
January on Fuerteventura is 18.5 °C by day and 19.4 °C in the sea. Water like that in January is what people come here to winter for: nowhere on mainland Spain's coast is it warmer than in Tarifa, and that is 17.1 °C.
January is the height of the winter season, though the peak came in December. Load is 3 out of 5 in the capital and 4 in resort Antigua. For anyone weighing up staying, January shows the main thing: the island lives in winter, but not all of it. Puerto del Rosario works all year — winter score 5 out of 5, a hospital 3 minutes away, the airport 10, population 46,182. Antigua and Pájara also score 5 for winter, while Corralejo scores 3: it lives by the season more than the rest.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 18 rainy days a year, 60% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
