Seasonal fruit calendar in autumn in Tenerife.
Tenerife's Autumn Climate: A Blessing for Agriculture.
In the heart of the Atlantic, Tenerife is known for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture. However, beyond its tourist appearance, it is its autumn climate that becomes a real treasure for farmers.
During autumn, the island enjoys moderate temperatures ranging between 18 and 24 degrees. This thermal stability, accompanied by sporadic rain, creates the perfect setting for the cultivation of a wide variety of products, from vineyards that produce wines with distinctive character, to banana and potato plantations that thrive in its fertile volcanic lands. In addition, this climatic balance facilitates agricultural work, allowing longer harvests and reducing the risk of crop diseases.
