Did you know the hottest day ever recorded on the Rock reached 40.6°C in July 1994?

And the coldest temperature officially verified by the Gibraltar Met Office? A very chilly 0.6°C in February 1954.

So far this year, the hottest day was the 28th of June, when temperatures reached 30.8°C.

June also appears to have been around 1–2°C warmer than average, although not enough to challenge any records.

Katy Docker spoke to Met Office meteorologist Emma Furber about what we can expect from the summer ahead.
