The climate of Santa Cruz (Canary
Islands / Spain)
Santa Cruz is the capital of Tenerife and is located in the
northeastern part of the island. Santa Cruz is a real city with
traffic jams and a shortage of parking spaces in the center. Most
tourists avoid Santa Cruz because of this. Santa Cruz is also the city
for day-to-day transactions on the Canary Islands. The main sources of
income here are services, industry and trade instead of tourism. This
part of the island gets a smaller amount of hours of sunshine than the
southern part of the island, but more sunshine than the northwestern
part of the island. Santa Cruz has a pleasant maritime climate with
fairly warm and dry summers and slightly wetter and mild winters. Once
or twice per year Santa Cruz gets heavy rainfall causing flooding.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
