Traveller notes on Gibraltar in February
Other months in Gibraltar
May in Gibraltar comes in around 23°C — the forum's phrase is warm enough to sunbathe but not so scorching that you cannot comfortably do the Rock, which is rather the point of timing a visit here. Rain is possible but May is usually fine, with only a handful of wet days. The local phenomenon worth knowing is the levanter: a cloud that forms when hot air off Africa rises and condenses against the Rock. It is not a rain cloud, and it typically either burns off by early afternoon or sits for a couple of days — but while it is there, the view from the top is gone.
