Lanzarote in December
Around 19.5 °C by day, sea 20.6 °C. Warm enough to swim. As busy as the peak.
December on Lanzarote: 19.5 °C by day, 20.6 °C in the sea. Much like Tenerife, but the island is drier — 12 to 20 rainy days a year against its neighbour's 18 to 55. Only Fuerteventura is drier, and in winter you notice: rain here is an event, not weather.
The other side of dryness is wind. Lanzarote lies close to Africa and takes the trade winds head on; December's 19.5 °C with wind feels cooler than the same 19.5 °C in a sheltered bay. All four places in our base score 5 out of 5 for winter liveability: the island works all year rather than waking up in May.

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: 20 rainy days a year, 62% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
