The nights are expected to be tropical nights throughout the Basque Country, with temperatures not falling below 20 ° C, and in some cases they may be above the threshold for much of the morning.

This Sunday afternoon they reached 40.5 ° C in Amurrio and 40.3 ° C in Zalla and Noain, among others, while on the coast temperatures have been significantly lower.

The alert will be from 13:00 to 20:00 in Hego Euskal Herria and until 21:00 in Navarre. In addition, highs of 39 degrees are expected in Navarre, 38 degrees on the Ebro axis and 39 degrees in Iparralde.

Euskalmet has issued a yellow warning starting this very Friday for extreme high temperatures, which will be softer on Saturday thanks to the northwest wind.

A summary of what will be news today, in two words.

In the Basque Country, due to extreme temperatures, the yellow warning has been activated inside for this Monday. On Tuesday, a slight thermal relief will arrive, but on Wednesday the thermometers will rise again.

The meteorological phenomenon occurred in October 2017 and at one point illuminated the areas between Texas and Kansas. On the other hand, the longest lightning, a brightness that lasted just over 17 seconds, took place in northern Argentina and Uruguay in June 2020.

The week will begin along the same lines as the weekend: grey sky, faint rain in the north and cooler atmosphere throughout the Basque territory.

Maximum temperatures will be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures will drop over the weekend in the Basque Country, especially on the cantabrian side: rain and showers are expected at some times.

The yellow warning will be activated from noon due to the possibility of very high temperatures, above 36 degrees on the Ebro axis and above 38 degrees on the Navarre Bank.

Maximum temperatures could be around 36 degrees in the Ebro area, south of Álava, as in the centre of Navarre, and 38 degrees in the Ribera, while on the coast it will not be very hot, with temperatures around 25 degrees.

The warning will be active from 15:00 to 21:00 and the rain could accumulate up to 15 litres per square metre in an hour.

Xabi Casado points out that the weather situation is "very insignificant" in many parts of the Basque Country. The worst is expected until midnight today. It could rain a lot almost anywhere. It seems that the situation will improve in the early morning, but tomorrow afternoon the storms will recover.

Nanclares de la Oca has dropped 38.3 litres in an hour, 31.5 litres in Subilla and 23 litres in Espejo.
