The climate of Bilbao (Spain)
Bilbao is located in the northwestern part of Spain in the Biscay
province in the autonomous region Basque Country. The city is located
on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Nervión River. In Bilbao one of the
four establishments of the Guggenheim museum can be found. This
beautiful museum alone is a reason to visit Bilbao. Works of Slavador
Dali, René Magritte and Andy Warhol can be admired here. In the city
the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao can also be found. Here you can
admire the works of Paul Gaugin. Bilbao has a moderate maritime
climate with fairly mild summers by Spanish standards. The influence
of the sea and a westerly wind cause the climate to be mild. However,
over the past few years heat waves have been recorded during the
summer. The capital of the Basque region can be visited all year
round. The weather is pleasant almost all year round. Even during the
winter temperatures are around 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees
Fahrenheit. Most precipitation can be recorded during spring and fall.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
