Tenerife in May
Around 21 °C by day, sea 20.7 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 of 3.
May on Tenerife is 21 °C by day and 20.7 °C in the sea: the water has reached twenty and the swimming season is formally open. Load is 2 out of 3, the year's low, and eight of the twelve months sit there.
May is when the island shows its defining property: the absence of a year. From February to August there are five degrees of difference, and May sits exactly in the middle. For anyone weighing a move that is the argument — not «warm in winter» but «the same all year» — and it is why all three places in our base score 4 to 5 out of 5 for winter liveability and the infrastructure is built for twelve months rather than three.
