Field notes
Subtropical (Canary Islands) — among the most stable year-round climates in Europe. Temperatures vary just 8°C across the year (18–26°C). The trade winds keep humidity workable; rainfall is concentrated in November–March short bursts. Mount Teide produces meaningful microclimate variance — the southern coast is meaningfully warmer and drier than the green northern coast.
