We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Tenerife is very rapidly increasing during the summer, rising from 5% to 45% over the course of the season.

The highest chance of a muggy day during the summer is 45% on August 31.

For reference, on August 30, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 45% of the time, while on January 14, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.

The average hourly wind speed in Tenerife is gradually increasing during the summer, increasing from 12.5 miles per hour to 13.2 miles per hour over the course of the season.

For reference, on July 16, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 15.8 miles per hour, while on October 6, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 10.4 miles per hour.

The highest daily average wind speed during the summer is 15.8 miles per hour on July 16.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).

Temperatures in Tenerife are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F.

The average accumulated growing degree days in Tenerife are very rapidly increasing during the summer, increasing by 2,212°F, from 2,497°F to 4,709°F, over the course of the season.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series.
