And yet, because of its popularity with British visitors, it is the month which has moulded many opinions of what the weather is like in certain locations. Weather wise, it is one of the most unpredictable months in the Canary Islands. Note that the folk under the brolly are in short sleeves. At some point in November it could look like this scene in Puerto de la Cruz during San Andrés in 2011. When the bad weather will hit, however, is the 64,000 dollar question (or whatever the modern equivalent of that is). Weather alerts in November are simply a part of island life. The rains are often accompanied by high winds and rough seas. It’s not something visitors want to hear, but it can be a disaster for the island if they don’t come. Unless it’s a glitch year, the rains are going to come at some point. You get bad weather in the Canary Islands during November. Mount Teide will often look like this at some point in November.
It’s also the one month we advise friends and families to avoid if they’re looking for a week in the sunshine before the British winter wraps its icy fingers around them and doesn’t let go till spring. It’s when the northern European season kicks in big time and swallows (folk who spend winter on Tenerife) arrive in their gulps (the collective name so I believe). November is a massively popular month for British visitors. I don’t enjoy answering because it’s one of the rare times of year I can’t confidently reply “don’t worry, it’ll most likely be fine.” This is what people want – Puerto de la Cruz in November 2016. “We’ve booked to stay in ( insert name of town/resort here) on Tenerife in November, do you think we’ll get sunny weather?” Every year at the end of October we get asked a question I don’t really enjoy answering.
