As with the Canary Islands in general, La Palma offers a moderate year-round climate and temperatures are usually in the 20's during the day.
The peak summer months can be hot and dry with little rain and offer plenty of sunshine with up to 10 hours a day. The winter months are still warm but the weather can be temperamental and warmer clothing may be required to cater for the rain and slightly cooler temperatures, especially at higher altitudes.
The south of the island is generally hot and dry whilst the north has a wetter climate which is reflected in the green forest areas. Coastal areas generally enjoy warmer temperatures.
The weather generally is more variable than the rest of the Canaries so do take a light jacket just in case!
