The colours red and white are the historical ones of the villa. The Royal Order of 30 July 1845 determined the maritime password for the population. This was defined as a white flag with an upper red die next to the pod. The die should be square and the length of its side should equal half of the pod. Previously, at least since 1511, the banner that the Bilbao Consulate was wearing was white with a red <a href="/wiki/Cross_of_Burgundy" title="Cross of Burgundy">Cross of Burgundy</a>. The relationship of the town with the mercantile and marine activities was always very strong coming to share headquarters. In 1603 the new consistorial house is inaugurated and in it the headquarters of the city council and of the referred one Bilbao Consulate are located. The intimate relationship made the flag of the Consulate was related as a flag of the town by citizenship. The definition of the maritime flag in 1845 was assumed by the population, who accepted it as their own, and so did the city council.

The rivers <a href="/wiki/Nervi%C3%B3n" title="Nervión">Nervión</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ibaizabal" title="Ibaizabal">Ibaizabal</a> converge in <a href="/wiki/Basauri" title="Basauri">Basauri</a> and form an <a href="/wiki/Estuary" title="Estuary">estuary</a> named variously "<a href="/wiki/Estuary_of_Bilbao" title="Estuary of Bilbao">estuary of Bilbao</a>", "of the Nervión", "of the Ibaizabal", or "of the Nervión-Ibaizabal".<a href="#cite_note-75">[74]</a> The estuary runs for 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) and with a low flow (with an average of 25 m3 (883 cu ft) per second).<a href="#cite_note-estuary-76">[75]</a> Its main tributary is the river <a href="/wiki/Cadagua" title="Cadagua">Cadagua</a>, which rises in the <a href="/wiki/Valle_de_Mena" title="Valle de Mena">Mena valley</a> and has a basin of 642 square kilometres (248 sq mi), mostly lying in the neighbouring province of <a href="/wiki/Burgos" title="Burgos">Burgos</a>.<a href="#cite_note-77">[76]</a> This river is also the natural border between Bilbao and Barakaldo. The river has frequently suffered from human intervention, as seen in the dredging of its bottom, the building of docks on both banks and especially in the Deusto canal, an artificial <a href="/wiki/Waterway" title="Waterway">waterway</a> dug between 1950 and 1968 in the district of <a href="/wiki/Deusto" title="Deusto">Deusto</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Lateral_canal" title="Lateral canal">lateral canal</a>, with the aim of facilitating navigation, sparing ships from the natural curves of the estuary.<a href="#cite_note-78">[77]</a> The project was stopped with 400 metres (1,300 ft) left to complete, and it was decided to leave it as a dock.<a href="#cite_note-79">[78]</a> However, in 2007, a plan was approved to continue the canal and form the island of <a href="/wiki/Zorrozaurre" class="mw-redirect" title="Zorrozaurre">Zorrozaurre</a>.<a href="#cite_note-80">[79]</a> This human intervention has also brought negative results in the quality of the water, after decades of toxic waste dumping causing a situation of <a href="/wiki/Anoxic_waters" title="Anoxic waters">anoxia</a> (lack of oxygen), which almost eliminated the entire fauna and flora.<a href="#cite_note-estuary-76">[75]</a> However, in recent years this situation is being reversed, thanks to a dumping ban and natural regeneration.<a href="#cite_note-81">[80]</a> now it is possible to observe <a href="/wiki/Algae" title="Algae">algae</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tonguefish" title="Tonguefish">tonguefishes</a>, crabs, and <a href="/wiki/Seabird" title="Seabird">seabirds</a>,<a href="#cite_note-82">[81]</a> as well as occasional bathers in the summer months.<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a> The estuary is also a natural border for several neighbourhoods and districts within the borough.

Precipitation is abundant, and given the latitude and atmospheric dynamics, rainy days represent 45% and cloudy days 40% of the annual total.<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a> The rainiest season is between October and April, November being the wettest. Snow is not frequent in Bilbao, although it is possible to see snow on the top of the surrounding mountains. <a href="/wiki/Rain_and_snow_mixed" title="Rain and snow mixed">Sleet</a> is more frequent, about 10 days per year, mainly in the winter months.<a href="#cite_note-85">[84]</a> Bilbao is nearest to the subtropical boundary of all the Atlantic coastal cities in the country with an August daily mean of 20.9 °C (69.6 °F).<a href="#cite_note-Standard_climate_values_for_Bilbao-86">[85]</a> There is also a drying trend in summer with only around 50 millimetres (2.0 in) of rainfall in July<a href="#cite_note-Standard_climate_values_for_Bilbao-86">[85]</a> – but not dry enough to be considered Mediterranean. The proximity of the ocean also means that the two best defined seasons (summer and winter) remain mild, with low intensity thermal oscillations. Average maximum temperatures vary between 25 and 26 °C (77.0 and 78.8 °F) in the summer months, while the average minimum in winter is between 6 and 7 °C (42.8 and 44.6 °F). Extreme record observations in Bilbao are 42.9 °C (109.2 °F) maximum (on 11 August 2024) and −8.6 °C (16.5 °F) minimum (on 3 February 1963). The maximum precipitation in a day was 225.6 mm (9 in) on 26 August 1983 when <a href="/wiki/1983_Spanish_floods" title="1983 Spanish floods">severe flooding</a> was caused by the Nervión river.<a

The mass transit rail system is divided into different networks managed by separate operators. <a href="/wiki/Bilbao_metro" title="Bilbao metro">Bilbao metro</a>, established in 1995, operates two underground lines with some overground sections (<a href="/wiki/Line_1_(Metro_Bilbao)" class="mw-redirect" title="Line 1 (Metro Bilbao)">Line 1</a> and <a href="/wiki/Line_2_(Metro_Bilbao)" class="mw-redirect" title="Line 2 (Metro Bilbao)">Line 2</a>).

Line 1 was built following largely the same route as the Bilbao-Las Arenas railway, which was still active by the time the Metro system opened in 1995 and since has been replaced by it. The metro system stations were designed by <a href="/wiki/Norman_Foster" class="mw-redirect" title="Norman Foster">Norman Foster</a>. Line 3 of metro is operated by <a href="/wiki/Euskotren_Trena" title="Euskotren Trena">Euskotren Trena</a>, which also operates the regional services to Durango and Eibar as well as a commuter rail line that connects the centre of Bilbao with <a href="/wiki/Lezama" title="Lezama">Lezama</a> and the Txorierri valley. This third line of metro was inaugurated on 8 April 2017 and is expected to be extended to the <a href="/wiki/Bilbao_Airport" title="Bilbao Airport">airport</a> in the near future.

Euskotren also operates a <a href="/wiki/Bilbao_tram" title="Bilbao tram">tramway line</a> under the brand <a href="/wiki/Euskotren_Tranbia" title="Euskotren Tranbia">Euskotren Tranbia</a>.

The original tram network started operations in 1876 and gradually expanded across the city to finally shut down in the 1960s due to being largely replaced by urban buses. The new tram system was opened on 18 December 2002, almost forty years after the closing of the original system. <a href="/wiki/Renfe_Operadora" class="mw-redirect" title="Renfe Operadora">Renfe</a> operates four commuter-rail lines in a system separate from the metro.

The three lines operated under the Cercanías name operate largely overground and travel larger distances than the metro system, reaching municipalities outside of the metropolitan area such as <a href="/wiki/Muskiz" title="Muskiz">Muskiz</a> or even outside of the Biscay province, like <a href="/wiki/Amurrio" title="Amurrio">Amurrio</a>. The three lines all start in the <a href="/wiki/Bilbao-Abando_railway_station" title="Bilbao-Abando railway station">Bilbao-Abando railway station</a>, whereas the line operated by Renfe Feve starts in the Bilbao-Concordia station. The gaps in the railway service are covered by an extensive bus network. The urban bus system is operated under the brand <a href="/wiki/Bilbobus" title="Bilbobus">Bilbobus</a> and has 28 regular bus lines, 8 microbus lines and 8 night buses collectively known as Gautxori (night owl). The Bilbaobus network is limited to the city limits, and only a few lines extend beyond it. The <a href="/wiki/BizkaiBus" title="BizkaiBus">BizkaiBus</a> network fills this gap, with more than 100 lines, connecting the city with all other municipalities in the metropolitan area, as well as with most towns in <a href="/wiki/Biscay" title="Biscay">Biscay</a> and some in <a href="/wiki/%C3%81lava" title="Álava">Álava</a>.
