What is the Canary Islands weather like year round?
Daytime temperatures range from 21–26°C in winter to 26–30°C in summer, with sea temperatures rarely dropping below 19°C. The islands sit off the coast of North Africa, giving them a mild, dry climate that makes them a reliable winter sun destination.
