Climate
Gibraltar's climate is relatively temperate. If you're travelling
to Gibraltar during winter months pack for lows of around 13º C
and highs that could reach 18ºC. Only about 30 percent of winter
days are classified as wet and the average temperatures are as follows:
- December: 15ºC
- January: 15ºC
- February: 16ºC
Spring typically sees these average temperatures:
- March: 18ºC
- April: 21ºC
- May: 23ºC
It is not at all uncommon for residents of The Rock to enjoy up
to 90 days straight without rain during the summer months, when
the sun shines approximately 10.5 hours daily. Summer lows might
reach 13ºC, but most days the temperature will hover much nearer
the area's 30ºC highs:
- June: 25ºC
- July: 27ºC
- August: 30ºC
Like neighbouring southern Spain, as autumn progresses temperatures
can be divine. Here are the averages:
- September: 26ºC
- October: 22º
- November: 18ºC
Two winds embrace the rock, each bringing different meteorological
phenomenon. The first comes from the east and brings with it a humidity
factor that sometimes crowns the rock with a cloud of it's own.
The second, usually coming from the west, brings clear, dry weather.
