| The climate of Gibraltar is temperate. During the winter months the prevailing wind is from the west often north-west and occasionally south-west. Snow or frost is extremely rare. The mean minimum and maximum temperatures during this period are 13C and 18C respectively.
The well known Levanter occurs when a warm breeze coming from the eastern Mediterranean laden with moisture, strikes the eastern face of the Rock, condenses in the sky above it and causes a cold pall to hang over the city and bay. If you are at the top of the rock it is a spectacular sight and probably the closest you can get to watching cloud forming without being a mountaineer.
