Been to Tenerife in December & January, it was hot but not to hot. About 26 - 28 c. Have never used Thompsons.

Be carefull using Thomsons, their web prices can be high one week and a lot lower the next.

We went just a couple of days after Christmas and I thought the temperature was just right the breeze kept it from being too warm between 21 and 26 degrees. We went to Fuerteventura and would definitely go back I went swimming in the sea but the hubby did'nt he paddled with the wee one. We booked at the travel agent in Thurso. They were great because we'd been left high and dry by Globespan and they sorted it all out. It was'nt the cheapest but school holiday time never is. Go with travel agent to get a good deal.

Hi Fran

we're just back from Ibiza and booked with Thomsons. the hotel, food, location etc was all brilliant. we went to local travel agents and asked them to see what they could find for us. we got a deal about 1/2 the brochure price. flew from Gatwick and even with the cost of flights from Inverness we were still cheaper and had only the 2hr drive home instead of 61/2 from Glasgow. i will definately go and see the girls at Arcade travel next time i can afford a holiday.

Did visit there once in late november I remember it being in the middle 20's. However, my mistake was to wander along the mas palomas sand dunes (southern area) without a large amount of cool pop, jings, I nearly keeled over. Beautiful though.:lol:

I have been in Tenerife over winter time and it is a lovely temperature.

I agree with others def go to Arcade Travel as after having lots of bad experiences booking online etc they really will help you to sort any problems out and i have also found them to get me cheaper deals than some online hols i have seen.

Enjoy
