North Tenerife weather: trade winds, sea of clouds and green
The north of Tenerife is green for one reason: the trade winds. They bring moisture from the Atlantic, hit the mountain and form the famous sea of clouds.
What it means for the farm
Moisture, mild temperatures and fertile soil: that is why bananas, papayas, mangoes and a vegetable garden grow here almost all year.
For the traveller
Mild days, a cloud or two and the odd shower. After the rain, sometimes a rainbow appears between the farm's palm trees.
North and south
The south is drier and sunnier; the north, greener and softer. From Las Aguas, Adeje is 45 minutes away by car.
