Nights in Bizkaia have become a strategic battle against mosquitoes and stifling heat, turning sleep into a challenge. For years, Basque identity was linked to rain, but now, temperatures are reminiscent of cities like Seville or Córdoba.
An experience in Mérida two years ago, where extreme heat led to business closures, seems to be repeating in Bizkaia, with establishments now shutting down during the hottest hours.
“"I still don't know who will win tonight's battle: the mugginess or the mosquitoes."
It appears that Bizkaia must learn to live with a reality previously considered foreign. The real change isn't marked by thermometers, but by the necessity to reconsider our way of life and whether our infrastructure is adapted to temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
