Navarra Exceeds Historical Average Precipitation in the Hydrological Year

The foral community has experienced an exceptional hydrological year with approximately 610 liters per square meter accumulated during the 2024-2025 period, a figure that significantly exceeds the 530 liters representing the historical average for these dates. 🌧️

Pluviometric Distribution and Annual Comparison

When compared to the previous year, a pattern of more frequent rains and better territorial distribution is observed, which has allowed for a more balanced water balance throughout Navarra. This situation represents a substantial improvement compared to the scarcity episodes that characterized previous seasons.

Advantages of rainfall distribution:
  • Homogeneous recharge of aquifers and reservoirs throughout the region
  • Significant reduction in the risk of prolonged drought
  • Optimization in the management of available water resources

Impact on Productive Sectors and Supply

The pluviometric surplus has had direct and mostly positive consequences on the main economic sectors of the community. Urban supply systems are operating normally, while farmers and livestock farmers enjoy more favorable conditions for their activities.

Benefits by sectors:
  • Guarantee of stable supply for population and industry
  • Substantial improvement in agricultural prospects and crop yields
  • Availability of pastures and resources for livestock activity

Balance Between Water Opportunities and Challenges

Despite the predominantly favorable outlook, some areas have experienced localized incidents due to river overflows and puddling, which, although manageable, remind us of the characteristic duality of the Navarrese climate. The community seems to confirm its tendency to experience water extremes where umbrellas have proven more useful than ventilation systems this year. ⚖️
