#Gibraltar - latest radar at 6:30pm, 07/04 - that showery trough now into the Western Strait and approaching Tarifa, a risk of thunder possible and which will give further dusty rain... one to watch if you're heading out over the next hour/ this evening! 👀☔️
#Gibraltar - latest radars @ 5:30pm, 07/04
An organised line of showers/ trough has pepped up and approaching the Western Strait, with some recent thunder along it, the first to keep an eye on - the Portuguese radar shows the cold front lying further W which will follow. No change to our forecast.

#Iberia #Gibraltar #SaharanDust #Calima - updated post 07/04
As MeteoGib has been flagging up the last few days, the cut-off LOW/ DANA can be clearly seen developing West of Iberia, this is driving increased dust across the peninsula today bringing hazier skies and dusty rain with showers.
#Gibraltar - latest radars at 7:30am, 07/04 - show plenty of showers currently pushing slowly East - note that these are still mainly high-based showers and so may not all reach the ground - but those that do will bring dusty rain with them. 👀☔️
#Gibraltar #Weather - 07/04 - for this evening and overnight - showers or more prolonged spells of rain developing as a cold front moves in from the West, some heavy and thundery. Winds settling Westerly and picking up later, bringing a cooler night than of late with temperatures falling to 12C.
#Gibraltar #Weather - 07/04
A cloudier, hazy day with #SaharanDust and some showers pushing in from the West across the area, which may become locally heavy later and bring the risk of a rumble of thunder, but more especially over nearby Spain/ Morocco.
A gentle or moderate Easterly easing, 19C.
#Gibraltar - 6am, 07/04 - it's been a mostly cloudy night with especially plenty of upper cloud but, as forecast, some Levanter cloud also forming on a breezy Easterly - it looks like we've missed any showers so far, with any currently showing out West - the temperature 16C and humidity at 87%.

#Gibraltar - latest radar at 9pm, 06/04 - earlier high-based showers have continued to edge further East across the Gulf of Cadiz, nudging inland, with light rain now at Rota - while any which have pushed across the Strait area so far have dissipated but with an increased risk expected overnight. 👀
#Gibraltar #Casemates #EasterMonday - 06/04 - on a day which started out with lovely sunny skies and a breezy Levante, but with sunshine turning hazy, before giving way to thickening high cloud later, while winds eased - a mainly dry day with some high-based showers to our S/ W later. Max 19.9C.
#Gibraltar - 06/04 - a lovely sunny view from Commonwealth Park this afternoon, before thickening upper cloud spread in - photo thanks to MeteoGib follower Brenda Ocana.

#Gibraltar - 5:30pm, 06/04 - some interesting clouds recently snapped looking to the SW, with thanks to MeteoGib followers Gibraltar Yachting - as the atmosphere destabilises - as we forecast, some high-based shower cells now showing up on radar in the Strait area, particularly over North Morocco. 👀
#Gibraltar #CampBay - 06/04 - a lovely Spring view snapped this lunchtime, with thanks to MeteoGib follower Bryan John Lewis.
#Gibraltar - mid-afternoon, 06/04

...these are mostly high-based and so may look angrier on radar than what may reach the surface, with some isol thunder - moving more N than E at the moment - but we should see the risk move closer this evening/ overnight. Any showers giving dusty rain.
