The weather throughout the year

Bizkaia has a temperate climate, with moderate rainfall and mild temperatures all year round. The coastal areas and Gran Bilbao, which is close to the sea, have a low annual temperature range. The year is divided into four seasons – spring, summer, autumn, winter – without clear boundaries or transitions between them.

Rain is quite common in Bizkaia, either in the form of drizzle or sirimiri, or as heavier rain. The bright green hues of the region are the result of this ever-present rain. Spring and summer, however, are good seasons for outdoor activities.
