The seven islands that form the Canary Islands experience a Mediterranean climate typified by extremely dry summer months with warm temperatures and mild winters with more rainfall, particularly to the north of the region.
Are the Canary Islands considered tropical?
The islands have warm summers and winters warm enough for the climate to be technically tropical at sea level.
How safe is it in the Canary Islands?
Watch out for flags indicating water safety on the beaches and don't go swimming if a red flag is flying. The Canary Islands have very low crime rates. The most serious tourist crime is often the pick pocketing of wallets, phones and passports in beach resorts. Keep a copy of your passport in your accommodation.
