January in Tenerife is exactly why people escape the UK in winter. It’s warm enough to sit outside in a T shirt most days, but not that sticky heat you get in summer. Expect around 20 to 22°C by day, cooler once the sun drops, so you’ll want a light jacket at night.
The air feels fresh, the light is soft, and the sea is a bit brisk unless you’re used to it. The south is where you’ll want to be if sunshine matters, because the north can be cloudier.
