Empty square in Segura due to the heatwave.

The City Council of Segura has adjusted the schedule for the final days of the San Juan festival due to safety measures regarding extreme heat.

The heatwave has directly affected the planned events. The popular snack gathering has been moved to the Zopa-jale association, and the bertso session originally scheduled for the square has been relocated to Botikaxar.
Other activities have been cancelled, such as the Joselu Anaiak concert and the parade of giants and big-heads. Meanwhile, DJ Berto's performance has been delayed until 8:00 PM.
For tomorrow, the final day of the festivities, the toka and bola championship has been cancelled, along with the fireworks display. Yesterday, on the eve of San Juan, only a small, controlled fire was held in the square for safety reasons.
