Tenerife in February
Around 19 °C by day, sea 19.5 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 3.
February on Tenerife is 19 °C by day and 19.5 °C in the sea. The water only goes lower in March, to 19.4 °C, and it is warm enough to swim again in April, at 20 °C.
February usually carries the Santa Cruz carnival: it falls before Lent, is listed as a festival of international tourist interest and is called one of the most famous in the world. For a visitor that means the city lives for the festival for a week. If you came to look at the island rather than to dance, check the dates first.

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: 32 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
