The Straits of Gibraltar is our home, but we also provide services in Spanish neighbouring ports through long established sub-agency arrangements.
Although generally benefitting from a warm, Mediterranean climate, because of Gibraltar’s location jutting into the Straits at the southern tip of Europe facing North Africa, the meeting place of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, Gibraltar’s weather can become variable and can be subject to extremes, with occasional very heavy rainfall in the winter and very strong gusts of wind.
The dominant features of the weather in Gibraltar are the easterly winds (Levanter) and the westerly winds (Poniente). The easterly winds can bring humid conditions and sea fog is not uncommon when these easterly air currents are prevalent. The westerly winds bring drier air, cool in the winter, and hot and dry in the summer.
Gibraltar’s exposed location can mean its weather is subject to rapid changes and local monitoring and forecasting of weather conditions is an essential activity for shipping agents.
