The dream of a sun-soaked holiday with warm weather, light clothing and delectable food is unbeatable – assuming everything goes smoothly, of course.
However, for one woman, her quest for a sunny escape turned out to be somewhat deflating. Emily Jane, also known by her TikTok username @emilyj.ne, jetted off to Tenerife seeking sunshine and joy but encountered something rather different.
Contrary to expectations, Emily’s vacation wasn’t exactly filled with sunshine. In an amusing turn of events that has since gone viral, she shared a video showing the less-than-ideal weather conditions during her trip, which left many online viewers in stitches.
The unanticipated rainfall was so heavy that Emily confessed she “never thought she’d be wearing a poncho” while on holiday. The video shows her trudging through the puddles as the persistent rain attempted to spoil her holiday spirits.
She clearly didn’t let the weather get her down though, as she made light of the situation. After all, you have to make the most of a break away.
Despite the soggy circumstances, the content creator managed to raise a laugh among her audience with her cheerful attitude towards the unfortunate weather. Social media users were quick to point out that, contrary to Emily’s experience, it isn’t always wet in the Canary Islands.
One commenter bemusedly remarked: “Surprisingly, we do get rain here. I know, shock right?”
Meanwhile, another humorously recalled their own slippery mishap, writing: “I was there last week, was raining. Went flying on my a***. Dangerous pavements in the rain.”
Nevertheless, other commenters reassured that Tenerife’s weather does have its sunny days. The forecast for the next two weeks looks promising, with temperatures anticipated to reach highs of 27°C in certain parts of the island.
If you’re planning a trip to Tenerife, and want to experience the island at its hottest, travel experts recommend visiting between June and September. However, thanks to its sub-tropical climate, Tenerife offers year-round sunshine, making it an ideal destination for those seeking winter sun.
August is typically the warmest month, with temperatures often soaring to a sizzling 31°C, while the average low is a comfortable 22°C.
