La Palma climate - all year round mild climate

The temperatures at the coast move on the average between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius in the winter and between 22 and 28 degrees in the summer, the night temperature never move under 10 degrees. In higher situations it can become somewhat cool in the winter.
For the special climate provide also foothills of the Golftroms, which absorbs the subtropical temperatures. In addition come as the further cooling the steady trade wind. This takes up much humidity, which " inform by thick clouds near-carried and by the trees on La Palma during its way over the Atlantic; gemolken" become. This circumstance has the island to water and forest-richest, to " grünen" Island of the Canary archipelago become to let.

Mountain chains work also at the same time as weather sheaths. Since La Palma is divided concerning its surface texture with the Gebirgzügen quite straight-lined into east - and west side, at the same time a steady northeast wind (with few exceptions in the winter.) is present, back-ups the clouds on the eastern side of the island and rain themselves there off. Thus the west side is valid as more sun-rich and more dryly than from the trade wind blessed the eastern side.

And still another characteristic: With " Calima" or " Levante" tiempo africano - Africa weather begins. Several times in the year air masses from Sahara displace the trade wind. The temperatures rise, which view will diesig, because with fine sand intersperses, unpleasant becomes it however only if a very hot wind from the Sahara is added, which falls down as drop wind the Cumbres.
