From a climatic point of view, September in Tenerife is generally warm and dry. Temperatures range between 21°C and 28°C, creating favorable conditions for fruit growth. However, it is important to take into account the altitude differences on the island as they can affect temperatures and humidity. Lower and coastal areas tend to be warmer, while mountainous areas may experience a slight decrease in temperatures.
The relative aridity of September, influenced by the trade winds, benefits most fruits by reducing the risk of fungal diseases and other problems related to excess moisture. This combination of climate and terrain makes Tenerife an ideal place for the production of high quality fruits.
