Bilbao has a humid oceanic climate, with predominantly West winds, that make temperatures milder and favour temperate weather throughout the year. Given its
proximity to the sea, the climate is mild and without extreme temperature changes between the seasons: with an average temperature 8ºC in winter and 20ºC in
summer.Throghoutthewholeyearitcanbeveryrainy.Forecast:hYp://www.el6empo.es(Bilbao,Vizcaya)
