Default The rain in Spain falls mainly on Gibraltar!!!

Sorry Steve, but I thought Gibraltar was part of the UK, so there's the
answer.

Been to Gib a number of times but have never experienced any bad weather
at
all.
We were there on 2nd December last year and it was glorious.

Regards.
Len.



Hi Len,
sorry its Stephanie, Steve is my other half

I think you were lucky to miss the bad weather on your visit, it seemed to
kick in a week before Christmas.

My husband was so surprised by the weather here, he did liken it to a piece
of the UK having been dumped in the Med.
When all of Spain can be basking in glorious sunshine, Gibraltar often sits
under its own generated cloud, the Levanter.
It can be extremely windy due to funnelling through the straits, and during
the summer months can be plagued by sea fog.
