===Climate=== In late spring and early summer, a large fog triangle fills the southwestern half of the bay, covering just a few kilometres inland. As winter begins, weather becomes severe. Depressions enter from the west very frequently, and either they bounce north to the [[British Isles]] or they enter the [[Ebro Valley]], dry out, and are finally reborn in the form of powerful thunderstorms as they reach the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. These depressions cause severe weather at sea and bring light but very constant rain to its shores (known as ''[[drizzle|orballo]]'', ''sirimiri'', ''morrina'', ''orbayu'', ''orpin'' or ''calabobos''). Sometimes powerful windstorms form if the pressure falls rapidly ([[galerna]]), traveling along the [[Gulf Stream]] at great speed, resembling a hurricane, and finally crashing in this bay with their maximum power, such as the [[Klaus (storm)|Klaus storm]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.marineinsight.com/life-at-sea/why-the-bay-of-biscay-is-dangerous-for-ships/ |title=Why the Bay of Biscay is Dangerous for Ships? |date=2011-10-21 |website=Marine Insight |language=en-US |access-date=2019-05-07 |archive-date=2019-05-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190507171109/https://www.marineinsight.com/life-at-sea/why-the-bay-of-biscay-is-dangerous-for-ships/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Gulf Stream]] enters the bay following the continental shelf's border anti-clockwise (the [[Rennell Current]]), keeping temperatures moderate all year long.
