Calima
The Canaries are kept relatively cool compared to Northern Africa because of the northeasterly trade winds blowing over the Atlantic. A Calima occurs when these winds blow in directly from the east, first crossing the Sahara Desert.
Temperatures shoot up during a Calima and visibility is low, due to the high concentration of sand particles.
Calimas don't cause much damage but they can be an uncomfortable time, especially for those with breathing conditions.
Don't let this put you off visiting Tenerife in October.
Calimas are a lot milder when they occur outside of the summer months.
