Can anyone please help me!!
We are looking for a short haul holiday in January, but would like some warmth and sunshine!!
There will be 4 adults and a 18 and 16 year old. I have been looking at Furteventura and Tunisia, but are there any other countries which would guarantee some good winter sunshine?
Thank you
Jane
Eygpt Red Sea,only 30mins longer flight.
Failing that egypt is you best bet The red sea area the temps on average are mid 60's to mid 70's but can get upto low 80's on the odd day. The canary islands have similar temps as egypt being the same distance south.
The warmest place is cape verde islands, thomson has the island of sal in their brochure. Some independents also do cape verde islands.
This link is to the monthly weather in cape verde for January. you can also look at other years by changing the year and clicking on go, which will give you a good average for the type of weather to expect.

Tenerife, or Gran canaria?
We went to Tunisia in April a couple of years ago and wished we had gone to the Canaries or Egypt instead. It was warmish (around 70) but not as warm as we would have liked. I imagine it would have been distinctly cooler in January!
I would suggest gran canaria, if you have teenager's are we found the entertainment better for them during the day and night!
Enjoy!

I have been to the canaries in the january even though it was pleasant to sit out in the sun but it was not warm enough for swimming with a high of 70f. and evening and nights quite chilly as well, sun sets around 6pm and as so as it sets if starts to feeling chilly. The cape verde lows are are what highs are for canaries. Highs 80f low 70f will mean the evenings will be warm.
I think we will go to the Canaries, as my sister has just finished chemotherapy and probably won't be able to have the injections, I've heard we'll have to have.
Just got to find a good hotel and flights on the 5th Jan now, as this is the only week we can go.

I don't want to worry you Jane, but make sure you can get affordable insurance for your sister before you book anything.
