Gibraltar overview

Gibraltar is hot and sunny in the summer, clocking up between 10 and 11 hours of sunshine a day but occasional high winds blustering around The Rock can have a chill edge to them.

Hardly any rain falls during the peak summer months (June to September) but the climate makes up for it in the winter when storms blowing in from the Atlantic can make life exciting for a day or two.

What to pack for Gibraltar

In the summer, pack light clothes with a light jacket or shawl for protection against the wind. Even in the winter, conditions on Gibraltar are mild so you shouldn't need heavy clothing, but be prepared for rain.
