One of the characteristics of the weather in the Basque Country this summer has been that extreme heat has spread widely, reaching many towns and valleys. According to data collected by the EITB Data study, in 333 of the 523 municipalities of the Basque Autonomous Community and Navarre, 40 degrees have been exceeded at some point.
Although it is said that the coastal breeze refreshes the atmosphere, the southern wind has often prevailed, and consequently the regions on the Cantabrian side have become furnaces.
Thus, the highest annual temperature has been recorded in Bilbao and nearby towns such as Loiu, Lezama or Mungia, where thermometers reached 43.5 ° C on 15 August.
On the Mediterranean side, south of Navarre and Álava, 42.5 degrees have been the highest.
