Brits are a patient lot, especially when it comes to the weather, but faced with monsoon conditions, a rising tide of flood water and summer slipping away fast, they have had enough. There’s only so much Dunkirk spirit and stiff upper lip to go round and everyone deserves a decent holiday, that’s why travel agents have been hit with a barrage of last minute bookings for the scorching sun of Tenerife.

The all year round climate means that even if soggy Brits can’t escape by the end of their traditional summer months, they can at least nail a winter sun holiday as a welcome pick me up.

Jet2 are based in Leeds, close to the first big deluge’s in the Hull and Rotherham areas in June. They are working flat out to deal with a stampede of enquiries for a taste of Britain’s rarest commodity, sunshine. Their flights go out of Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Blackpool airports and there is no drought of takers. Mandy Round is the General Manager of Jet2 and confidently reports that sales are rocketing. “They are above where we anticipated they would be this summer”.

Tenerife is already proving a popular winter choice as a replacement for washed out summer holidays in the UK. Mandy Round can already see the way things are shaping up “early bookings figures indicate that there will be a knock-on effect for winter as families who have holidayed in the UK look for cheap winter deals to the sun to try to make up for the lack of sunshine and dry weather here.”

The internet has really come into its own as even the normally happy task of popping to the travel agents has been ruled out for many with flood waters showing no respect for the high streets and the shops. Faced with a choice of looking out of the window to see grey skies and next doors cat, boating down the garden path, or the late offers page on the internet, there has been only one winner.

The beaches of Tenerife promise to be a little busier these next few months and the weather refugees will be easy to spot. Just look for the very relieved smiles on their faces, a water mark half way up their legs and a sturdy brolly doubling up as a sun shade.
