The climate of Ceuta (Spain)
Ceuta is one of the two Spanish exclaves on the African continent, the
other one is Melilla. Ceuta is a Spanish autonomous city located in
the most northern part of Morocco on the Strait of Gibraltar. As
opposed to Melilla Ceuta is still a free port despite the fact that EU
law applies. The city has been dispensed from European tax laws. Every
year many tourists travel here to buy perfume, liquor and cigarettes.
A ferry sails between Spain and Ceuta on a daily basis. Most people
who live here are originally Spanish, this is also why they do not
want to become a part of Morocco. Just like most Spanish coastal
places Ceuta has a moderate maritime climate influenced by both the
Atlantic Oceana and the Mediterranean Sea. The Atlantic Ocean supplies
cold water to this region which affects the climate. Most
precipitation can be recorded during the winter. Summers may be dry.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
