The coastal part of the Basque Country benefits from a temperate climate with hot summers but no dry season, which is why the vegetation always remains green and abundant.

The weather during the summer is mostly mild, but changeable and occasionally allows for some small ephemeral clouds to form. The Basque coast enjoys an oceanic climate, which is characterized by mild, humid and rainy winters and hot but cool summers at night.

You can consult the Climate page of our site for even more details on the region.
