Puerto de la Cruz should have a day of clear skies and sunshine, with temperatures of 19°/25°C and little to no wind; UV of 8.

Just for interest, my Accuweather desktop weather app says something quite different for Puerto de la Cruz, predicting thuunderstorms starting this afternoon, including Sunday and Monday. Who can you believe?


Here’s the RTVE weatherman with today's and Sunday's forecast.
He shows some rain for north Tenerife and La Palma for Sunday.

Saturday lunch at Titos, an easy place to become addicted to! I was amazed when you said that you had never been there until a few weeks ago.

Love the pictures as always.

Good Morning!

Yesterday was warm, with a mix of sun and cloud, a few raindrops fell in the afternoon and again during the night.
Air temperature at 9:30 pm was still 24.5° on my outside windowsill.

This morning is looking good; it's warm and sunny with a few high clouds in a blue sky.

The provincial forecast is for light to heavy middle altitude and high clouds, with early morning clearing; occasional light to moderate showers; possible storms in high and north zones; temperatures rising slightly; light variable winds with coastal breezes mainly from the south; light to moderate south winds in middle and high altitudes, more intense on Teide.

Puerto de la Cruz is expected to have cloudy skies with sunny periods, 30% possibility of showers; temperatures 20°/26°C; very light east winds and UV at 8.

Those east winds will bring us warmer temperatures, and perhaps a little calima.

Heavy cloud predicted for tomorrow with east winds and a high of 27°C.

He mentions rain in the south of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura but not in Tenerife.

Good Morning!

It was warm yesterday; we had sun with a little cloud. Air temperature at 7:50 pm was 26.5°C with 60% humidity.

This morning we had some early thunder and rain. Sky is overcast with dark clouds but the air is warm.
We're having intermittent showers with the occasional burst of weak sun but generally it's warm and wet.

CALIMA is predicted in the archipelago for tomorrow. Not to wonder, since we are having winds from the east.

http://canarybird.smugmug.com/Weather/Weather-Tenerife-North/14-weather-sun-cloud-2/1237924360_Ew7b7-M.jpg http://www.pbase.com/canarybird/image/138572740.jpg
The Aemet provincial weather forecast is for intervals of middle and high altitude clouds, probable light to locally moderate showers; possible isolated storms.

Temperatures rising slightly, increasing more at middle and high altitudes; light variable morning winds, increasing to northeast moderate with possible strong gusts early in the day; light to moderate in other areas; strong southeast winds on central peaks.

High forecast for Sta. Cruz...31°C

http://www.pbase.com/canarybird/image/134498958.jpg

Puerto de la Cruz is expected to have sun with a little cloud, no rain in the forecast,
(I don't believe that - it's raining as I write this!)... temperatures warm at 21°/27°C and very light winds from the east; UV of 8.

Similar weather predicted for tomorrow with more east winds in the afternoon.

Here’s the RTVE weatherman who shows us that we had some storms yesterday, (actually we heard thunder early this morning),
and the forecast for today, Martes. As we continue to have winds from the east, the weather will be warm.

Just to let you know I have been in contact with Canarybird she is OK but her computer has had a major crash so she has been unable to do anything regarding the weather or getting on to the Forum at all.

She said she has today also queued for hours in Los Realojos in the hot sun to have her car ITV'd

She has got herself a laptop but will have to wait until she can get a tower to regain all her photos and "clouds" etc

She sends her regards to everyone and says she is sorry and hopes she will be back again in November.

We have another beautiful sunny day today in Puerto de la Cruz with a perfectly clear blue sky, mild temperatures and not too humid ....just right!

Air temperature at 12:20 pm is 24.9°C. The forecast is for sun and a little cloud, no rain in sight.

Here are some pics from a little while ago:

I keep a compost bowl beside my kitchen sink where I put the used coffee filters and grounds, vegetable and fruit peelings.
I dump it every evening in the garden composter and when the gardener comes, he adds leaves and small dry sweepings from the garden paths.
So we have a pretty well balanced compost pile going.

After dumping the peelings from the kitchen bowl I rinse it out and pour the water into a large planter under my kitchen window where basil, thyme and parsley are growing. We noticed that we had a healthy looking pepper plant growing there as well as a tomato plant, neither of which were planted. So it seems they grew from seeds that were clinging to the interior of the compost bowl and went into the planter along with the rinse water. Just shows you that everything grows without effort in our Tenerife climate. :)
I´m putting this lovely pepper into our salad for lunch today.

Thank you Tenerife Fanatic :). For the moment I´m on a little laptop as my new big computer isn´t ready yet so I will come on here at random just when I can.

The weather here today changed very quickly after I bragged about our wall to wall blue sky. It immediately clouded over to a total whiteout, and despite the weatherman telling us the contrary, we´ve had a steady gentle rain since 5 pm or even earlier. I was having a siesta but when I woke up and saw it raining had to run out and bring in my old cat Suzie from her bed on the lawn as well as the clothes hanging outside. She had to be dried off with a towel, but wasn´t cold as the air was still warm.

We sure need rain, but I wish they could predict it with a little more accuracy.
My desktop Accuweather icons show some showers on Saturday and Sunday along with sunshine.

We have a yellow alert for high coastal waves for north of Tenerife and Gran Canaria as well as all the other islands for today, Saturday and Sunday.

So there will be strong winds on the northwest coast. Clouds are predicted for the north of the province, sun and cloud for Puerto de la Cruz, temperatures now a little cooler. This morning was sunny but a little chilly..... 21.6º at 10:45 am.
