Tenerife Heatwave and Dust Alert: Prepare for 36°C Temperatures This Week

As the Canary Islands prepare for another sweltering week, Tenerife has issued a heat and dust alert starting Monday, September 14th, at 11:00 AM. Residents and visitors should be aware that temperatures may reach up to 36°C, particularly in the southern metropolitan area. This comes amid a calima pre-alert, which will affect all of the Canary Islands, with potential dust concentrations surpassing 100 micrograms per cubic meter in some areas.

While the heat will be intense, the tourism office in Santa Cruz of Tenerife advises that the northern side of the island typically enjoys milder temperatures. This week, however, the entire island will experience the full force of the heat, so it's essential to stay informed and take necessary precautions, especially during the hottest hours.

The Canary Islands Government has urged residents and visitors to stay updated on the weather conditions. As a Tinerfeño, I recommend keeping an eye on the local weather apps and following the latest updates from the tourism office. You can also visit the official Tenerife Tourism Office website for more detailed information and tips on how to stay safe and comfortable during the heat.
