| What better than a picture of the desert when we're talking about [relative] cold? |
The Canary Islands have registered the fourteenth coldest November since 1961 (which is such as weird number to make 'news' of that it was irresistible), at the same level as those of 2005 and 1971, with a negative anomaly in the average temperatures of -0.9 ºC, more accentuated in the eastern islands.
According to the climate information from State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) the pluviometric behaviour (rainfall), both at the regional level and in the western islands, was dry and very dry in the eastern islands and the rainfall, divided into two episodes, contributed just 54% of the expected amount.
Tenerife North and La Palma airports were notably deficient in hours of sunshine.
At 10 meters from the surface, the wind blew with less force than usual and in the maritime zone of the Canary Islands there were no anomalies in the temperature of the sea surface water, which was very close to the average values.
