Rain is scarce at any time: even the wettest month, December, averages 21 mm, and the five months from May to September bring almost nothing.

Corralejo, Caleta or Morro Jable
The island stretches about a hundred kilometres from north to south, and the resorts at each end feel different. Corralejo in the north faces the wind and the open Atlantic swell; the Jandía peninsula in the south, with Costa Calma and Morro Jable, has more sheltered bays on its south-eastern side. The airport station sits in the middle of the east coast. Its temperatures apply well to the whole coast, since the island has no mountain range to split it; what changes from one beach to the next is mostly the wind.
That wind is the island's reputation. It blows hardest in summer, which brings kitesurfers to Sotavento in July and keeps the beach days from feeling as hot as the 28 °C on paper.
