Weather
Unlike mainland Spain, Tenerife enjoys year-round warm weather which is why so many Brits flock here for winter. The weather in Golf del Sur is much like the other holiday resorts in the south of the island like Costa del Silencio and Los Cristianos, which is sunny and warm. Tenerife has its own micro-climate and you'll find the weather in the north can be cloudier and colder, while the south is warmer.
In the summer months of June, July and August, the temperatures can get well into the 30s which is when you'll need that pool. In winter, you can still get some fabulous sunshine and warm sunny days in December, January and February but you have more chance of cloud and rain than other times of the year.
