The climate of Basque Country (Spain)
The Spanish autonomous region Basque Country (not to be confused with
the Basque Country region which is partly situated in Spain and partly
situated in France) is situated on the north coast of Spain on the
Atlantic Ocean. The largest cities in this region are:
Vitoria
Basteiz, Bilbao,
San Sebastian and
Pamplona. Two languages are spoken
here. Both Spanish and Basque are official languages. The region is
situated in the northwestern part of Spain on the Atlantic Ocean. In
the north the region borders France. The climate of this region
differs from that on the sunny costas on the east and south coast. The
temperature of the sea is fairly low because of a northerly sea
current. The region has high precipitation figures by Spanish
standards. Even during the summer showers are not uncommon. However,
it doesn’t get cold during the summer. During the afternoon
temperatures are between 22-26 degrees Celsius (71.6-78.8 degrees
Fahrenheit) which makes it pleasant to stay on the Basque coast.

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:
