Climate Overview
Climate Type: Subtropical humid
La Gomera has a subtropical humid climate, particularly in its higher elevations where the Garajonay cloud forest captures moisture from trade winds. This creates a unique microclimate with regular mist and fog that sustains one of the world's best-preserved laurel forests. Coastal areas are warmer and drier with temperatures of 18-26°C, while the highlands are cooler and more humid.
