As the UK endures another bout of dreary weather, many are dreaming of escaping to sunnier climates.
The temptation to jet off to a warmer destination is strong, especially when faced with the relentless British rain. One holidaymaker has just returned from Lanzarote with an important tip for those considering a winter getaway to the island.
Tasha Penney, who goes by @tashapenney_ on TikTok, advises travellers not to put too much faith in weather apps when it comes to Lanzarote’s climate. In her revealing video, she said: “If you’re coming to Lanzarote, and you’ve been worried about the weather, because when you look up online about Lanzarote weather, it always says windy, cloudy, overcast.
“It pretty much says the weather’s like not great most of the time. Don’t be worried, because it’s all a big lie.
“We’ve been here for three days and, every day, it’s said it’s going to be like 24C, cloudy. It actually predicted rain yesterday. None of the times we’ve had any of that. It’s been clear blue skies, the clouds are like that.”
Further dispelling doubts, Tasha mentions that the actual temperatures felt much higher than forecasted, reassuring potential visitors that they needn’t fret over the island’s weather. When it came to the weather, she couldn’t complain at all.
Her video has since gone viral, racking up hundreds of views and prompting numerous comments from viewers, many of whom are contemplating a Lanzarote holiday later this year.
Sunseekers have shared their love for Lanzarote, calling it the perfect year-round getaway. One enthusiast exclaimed: “Lanzarote is great all year around. My second home.”
Echoing this sentiment, another said: “I was here for a week. It was roasting, overcast three days, sunny four. Probs it was highest 30.”
Adding to the island’s praise, a third person mentioned: “I’m going with my best friend in December to break up the cold. Can’t wait.”
A fourth holidaymaker chimed in from the island, writing: “Here now and it’s lush. It’s rained a little bit, usually late at night or for less than a minute, but it’s been so hot.”
The allure of Lanzarote, nestled in the picturesque Canary Islands, isn’t surprising considering its reputation as a superb winter sun destination. The island typically boasts a pleasant average temperature of 20C in January, rarely dipping below a comfortable 16C.
What’s more, trips there are pretty affordable. To save money, you can either book a package deal or find cheap flights and cater for yourself.
