Staircastle, home of ARiRGuiniguada has its own climate, as does the whole island, with sigificant differences between regions. We are not the "eternal summer" which is to be found in the southwestern desert (also the mass tourism hotel industry). In brief we have two "seasons", with not very heavily different numbers in Celsius degrees:
-Spring is from October / December till May / June. Daily maximums: 16-20 minimums 12-16 (extremity 9), most rains fall this time
-Summer is from May / June till October / December. Daily maximums: 18-25 (extremities up to 31) minimums 14-18, no rain
Eternal spring thus rather; the winter is mild, the summer is not expected to be hot in average. Note climate changes, extremities occur: hot air inbursts from the Sahara, or subtropical storms with abundant rain - these episods may last for several days.
UV radiation is high all year round. 10 hours of daylight around Christmas and 14 in the summer.
Ocean cools down to around 20 in December, and it does not get warmer than 24 in the summer.
We live in a landscape protection area (Paisaje protegido de Pino Santo), in a wild olive tree forest, in the close surrounding there are farmlands, orange groves, avocado and banana plantations, or untouched or recuperating original flora. Note Canary Islands have the highest number of endemic plant species, in fact a huge open-air botanic garden. There are no venenous spiders or snakes.
