Wetter auf den Kanaren , meaning “weather in the Canary Islands” in German, refers to the unique and diverse climate conditions experienced in the Canary Islands archipelago, located off the coast of northwestern Africa. The islands are known for their year-round pleasant temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low humidity, making them a popular destination for tourists and retirees alike.
The Canary Islands’ climate is influenced by several factors, including their geographic location, the presence of the Canary Current, and the trade winds. The islands’ position near the Tropic of Cancer means they receive plenty of sunshine throughout the year. The Canary Current, a cold ocean current that flows along the west coast of Africa, helps to moderate temperatures, preventing them from becoming too hot during the summer months. The trade winds, which blow from the northeast, also help to keep temperatures mild and bring moisture to the islands.
