Tenerife, like the rest of the Canary Islands, follows Western European Time (WET) in winter, and Western European Summer Time (WEST) in summer. 

  • Winter time (WET): UTC+0 (Greenwich Mean Time) 

  • Summer time (WEST): UTC+1 (during daylight saving time, typically from March to October) 

The time difference with Central European Time (CET) is -1 hour, so if it is 12:00 (noon) in Paris, it will be 11:00 in Tenerife in winter. 

In summary: 

  • In winter, Tenerife follows UTC+0 (winter time). 

  • In summer, Tenerife follows UTC+1 (summer time). 

Daylight saving time usually begins on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October.
