A Cyclist's Life in Tenerife (Canary Islands)

Tenerife is currently in a heightened state of weather alert with the official title «important risk». (there are four increasing levels: «without risk», «risk» «important risk» and «extreme risk»). Firstly, rain is predicted at 30 – 60mm per hour depending on the zone in Tenerife. Secondly, wind gusts up to 90km/hr. Thirdly, storms are predicted.

Locals will tell you that the weather is «ugy» and the South of Tenerife has been very windy in the last few days indicating that a tropical storm is due. This is more of a prelude to a real danger although bike riding is not advised at this time as you could get stuck out there in some really nasty weather.
