Field notes
Subtropical desert (Canary Islands) — among the driest climates in Europe (annual rainfall under 100mm). Temperatures vary just 8°C across the year (18–26°C). The trade winds blow steadily from the northeast year-round, which is the structural draw for windsurfers and kitesurfers. Effectively a year-round destination with peak winds in July–August.
