Gibraltar
Climate of Gibraltar
A strategic position at the entrance to the Mediterranean means Gibraltar experiences localised weather conditions dependant upon the prevailing winds.
Gibraltar’s climate is temperate and you can look forward to beautifully warm, dry summers and mild winters, with only roughly 30% of the year experiencing rain.
Water source of Gibraltar
Gibraltar is a small British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. The primary source of freshwater for Gibraltar is desalination. Due to its limited land area and lack of natural freshwater sources, Gibraltar relies on desalination plants to provide its residents with a reliable supply of drinking water.
Gibraltar Currency
The official currency is the Gibraltar Pound (GIP), which is divided into 100 new pence.
UK notes and coins are also accepted and have the same value, but Gibraltar Pounds are not accepted in the UK and any unspent Gibraltar Pounds should be changed before leaving.
