The Canary Island El Hierro Weather and temperatures

Facts
Size: 280 sqkm
Population: ca. 10.000
Capital: Valverde (approx. 1850 Einwohner)

The climate here is set by the Canarian current and the northeast trade winds and is therefore mild with average temperatures of 19 - 23 C° at the coast with a constantly blowing wind. The island is famous for its 'bruma', trade wind fog that 'swallows' whole villages in the higher regions and makes them look ghost like.
