What's the weather like in Tenerife in March?

As winter begins to give way to spring, the weather begins to slowly warm up on Tenerife North.  While a light jacket may still be needed in the early morning hours, most of the daytime will be very pleasant with plenty of sun.

Temperature

Average afternoon highs in Tenerife during March will typically climb to 22°C (72°F). Combined with an average of 9 hours of daylight, spring can be a wonderful time to visit the island.  Average overnight low temperatures also begin to climb during this time of the year and will reach 16°C (61°F). The daily average temperature is a mild 19°C (66°F) so you should never be cold.

Sea Temperature

Despite warmer air temperatures, the sea temperatures have remained steady from February. Sea temperatures remain a chilly 15°C (59°F). This is mainly due to a cold current that travels up the west side and keeps sea temperatures in check throughout the year.  However, these cool water conditions do allow for a pleasant breeze to blow onshore during the hotter summer months.
