Euskalmet and Aemet meteorological agencies have activated several yellow warnings for the next few days in Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa and Navarre, which will mainly affect the Cantabrian coast, where strong waves are expected to reach 3.5 metres, impact on the coast and strong wind waves, especially in exposed areas.

Strong wind for Thursday and impact on the coast

On Thursday the southern wind will blow, which could exceed 100 km/h in exposed areas of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, and coastal risk is expected.

Yellow wind warning has been activated on the coast of Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa and inland from 09:00 to 21:00. Wind streams could exceed 100 km/h in exposed areas, especially in mountain areas in the west. On the other hand, streams of between 60 and 80 km/h are expected in unexposed areas.

In Navarre, the Cantabrian side will be on yellow warning from 07:00 until the end of the day by wind, with streams that could reach 70 km/h.

On the coast, waves from the northwest bottom will predominate. From 15:00 to 17:00, coinciding with the high tide of 15:42, the yellow warning will be activated for coastal impact with waves between 2 and 2.5 meters. In addition, from 18:00 to 24:00, the yellow warning will be maintained for navigation risk in the first two miles, as the wave height may exceed 3.5 meters.

Friday: permanent sea storm

On Friday the sea storm will continue, and warnings will be in effect all day.

During the first two miles the navigation will be under yellow warning throughout the day, with waves of about 3.5 meters. The wind will blow from southwest to northwest in the morning, and in the afternoon it will calm down.

Two incidents of high tide impact are expected along the coast, the first in the early morning from 03:00 to 05:00, with a tide of more than 4.15 metres and waves of 3.5 metres, the second in the afternoon from 16:00 to 17:00, coinciding with the high tide of 16:17, under similar conditions.
