This weekend, Bulgaria is set to experience sunny and hot weather, with temperatures on a steady incline. The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology has forecasted clear skies for Saturday, though some regions may witness the formation of cumulus clouds by the afternoon.
The winds in Eastern Bulgaria are expected to be moderate, blowing from the east-northeast, while other regions will enjoy light winds. Maximum temperatures will range between 30°C and 35°C, with the capital city, Sofia, expected to reach around 30°C.
Atmospheric pressure is predicted to decrease, approaching the monthly average.
Along the Black Sea coast, the weather will be similarly bright and sunny. Light to moderate winds from the east-northeast will keep the coastal regions comfortable, with maximum temperatures ranging between 27°C and 30°C.
Sea water temperatures are anticipated to be approximately 25°C, making it ideal for beachgoers. The sea conditions will be slightly to moderately agitated, with waves reaching 2-3 points, ensuring a lively environment for water sports enthusiasts.
In the mountainous regions, the forecast is equally promising. The weather will remain sunny, although cumulus clouds are expected to form in the afternoon.
Despite this, no precipitation is anticipated. A moderate northeasterly wind will dominate, keeping the air fresh for hikers and outdoor adventurers. Temperatures at an altitude of 1200 meters are expected to reach around 23°C, while at 2000 meters, they will be cooler at about 18°C.
Looking ahead to Sunday and Monday, the sunny and warm conditions are set to persist. Winds will generally remain weak, continuing from the east-northeast. Temperatures will continue their upward trend, with Sunday’s highs expected to range between 33°C and 38°C, making it one of the hottest days of the summer so far.
However, the Black Sea coast will remain slightly cooler, offering a respite from the intense heat experienced inland. Residents and visitors are advised to take necessary precautions to cope with the high temperatures.
Staying hydrated, wearing lightweight clothing, and avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours are recommended. Additionally, those heading to the mountains or the seaside should prepare for varying conditions, ensuring they have adequate sun protection and appropriate gear for the outdoors.
This weekend’s weather is perfect for outdoor activities, whether it’s a day at the beach, a hike in the mountains, or simply enjoying a sunny day in the city. The clear skies and warm temperatures promise an ideal summer weekend, encouraging everyone to make the most of the beautiful weather.
With temperatures continuing to rise into the early part of next week, Bulgaria is set to bask in the full glory of summer. The pleasant conditions along the coast and in the mountains provide a perfect escape from the heat, while city dwellers can look forward to enjoying the sunshine in parks and open spaces.
As the nation prepares for a hot and sunny weekend, it’s clear that summer is well and truly here, bringing with it the promise of long, lazy days and plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and relaxation.
