The Basque Government's Department of Safety has terminated the yellow warning for persistent rainfall, although it will activate it this Wednesday, as wind waves are expected to exceed 100 km/h and waves of up to 4 metres.

He explained that rainfall in the Basque Country has left a 24-hour accumulation, from the beginning of Monday day until 09:00 on Tuesday: 79.6 litres per square metre at the Eskas measuring station (Goizueta), 65 litres in Urkiola (Abadiño), 64.9 litres in Mallabia and 62.7 litres in Almike (Bermeo).

Especially in the western mountain areas

For this Wednesday, however, the yellow warning will be activated from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Southwest winds could exceed 100 km/h in exposed areas, especially in mountain areas in the west. In unexposed areas, wind streams could range from 60 to 80 km/h.

The yellow coastal hazard warning will also be in effect for navigation in the first two miles from 9 p.m. The significant wave height is expected to exceed 3.5 or 4 metres.

This measure will be extended throughout the day on Thursday, as waves of about 5 metres high are expected.

The pleamars will be at 05:45 (with a tide of 4.8 meters) and at 18:06 (with a tide of 4.47 meters), between 5:00 and 7:00 in the morning.
