Tenerife in August
Around 25.5 °C by day, sea 23.5 °C. Warm enough to swim. As busy as the peak.
August on Tenerife is 25.5 °C by day and 23.5 °C in the sea. Load is 3 out of 3 in the capital and 4 out of 5 in the resorts — denser than July, still short of the winter peak.
August is useful as a heat test, and the thing to test is altitude rather than the month. Santa Cruz sits at sea level, Puerto de la Cruz in the north, Adeje in the south — different conditions behind the same figure in the table: our temperatures are given for the island, not for a neighbourhood. What does differ and is measured: humidity and rain. The north has 55 days and 72%, the south 18 days and 60%. In August that difference feels like muggy air against dry warmth.
