The heat will give us a break today after a tropical night of more than 20 degrees
Yesterday's suffocating heat left a maximum of 40 ° C in 24 municipalities in the Basque Country and caused an orange alert throughout the territory, after which we are experiencing a major thermal relief this Wednesday.
The heat wave that the Basque Country has been experiencing for ten days will breathe today after a tropical night in which thermometers have not fallen below 20 degrees in half a hundred villages.
The night has been particularly warm in Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, both on the coast and inland, with the highest level at the Jaizkibel weather station (Lezo, Gipuzkoa) at 25.5 ° C.
For example, in Hondarribia, the Higer station has marked a minimum of 24.7 degrees, in Irun 24.3 degrees at Behobia station, in Zarautz 23.5 degrees and in Pasaia 23.4 degrees.
In 22 municipalities in Bizkaia thermometers have not dropped from 20 ° C all night. The highest minimum has been in Mount Unueta, in Orozko, with 24.7 degrees. There have also been other mountains with very high values, such as Garbea (Balmaseda) with 23.7 ° C, Oiz (22.8 ° C), Cerroja (Carranza) with 22.7 ° C and Orduña (22.2 ° C).
But the heat has not rested in lower places, such as Sestao, where the station of Galindo has had a minimum of 23.3 degrees, in Zorroza 23.1, in Almike (Bermeo) 22.9, and in Matxitxako (Bermeo), in Elorrio, in the Port of Bilbao, and in Cape Galea (Getxo) 22.4 degrees.
In Álava, too, the night has been warm, but not so hot. The highest minimum of the night has been in Vitoria-Gasteiz (22.2 ° C). In total, eight weather stations have not dropped below 20 degrees, including Moreda (21.6 ° C), Saratxo (Amurrio) 21.5 ° C and Gardea (Llodio) 21 ° C.
This last station was the one that recorded the highest daily temperature in the Basque Country yesterday, Tuesday, with 44 degrees. However, it is not the highest in the Basque Country since these measurements were carried out. The record is held by the Bern station in Iurreta (Bizkaia), which on 10 August 2012 stood at 45 ° C.
Yesterday's suffocating heat left a maximum of 40 ° C in 24 municipalities in the Basque Country and caused an orange alert throughout the territory, after which a strong thermal relief will be felt this Wednesday.
In fact, the Department of Safety and Security has activated only the yellow warning in Álava today, and the highs could reach 33 ° C and 34 ° C in the Ebro area.

The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) predicts that maximum temperatures will drop this Wednesday in Navarre, where thermometers will reach 35 degrees.
Cloudy skies, with cloud cover at the end of the day, except in the northwest where low clouds will form, with occasional showers or storms in the early morning and in the Pyrenees, as well as in the afternoon.
The minimum temperatures will rise in the Ribera and the far east, and in the rest they will hardly change. By municipality, in Estella they will be 21 and 34 degrees, in Pamplona 20 and 35, in Roncal 18 and 34, and in Tudela 25 and 35.
