The sea breeze front is a mesoscale phenomenon of great importance in meteorology and climatology as storms trigger mechanism under atmospheric instability. If the breeze front also interacts with other areas of convergence, the additional vertical movement that occurs in these areas of intersection greatly increases the probabiility of convective activity and developement of more severe storms. This paper aims to conduct a study on convective episodes in the southern slope and/or east of the Tenerife island, associated with daytime heating and forced by the breeze front and/or convergence downwind surface synoptic flow in 2005, 2009 and 2012, ffrom the meteorological characterization of 4 outstanding and representative situations. The purpose, therefore, is to characterize the convection which is generated at the interior of the island of Tenerife that mainly affects medium and high areas.
