On July 14 in Bulgaria, the weather will be mostly sunny, with a more noticeable increase in cloud cover expected over the eastern and mountainous regions, where short-term showers cannot be ruled out. The wind will weaken in many places, and temperatures will rise, according to the weekly forecast from NIMH.
Burgas and the region
In Burgas and the region, the day will be variably sunny with conditions for temporary showers. The expected air temperature is around 28°, and the probability of precipitation is about 74%, with the amount of rain estimated at 2.6 mm.
The wind will have an approximate speed of 7 m/s, meaning it is moderate. The sea water temperature along the Southern Black Sea coast will remain suitable for summer tourism, estimated to be around 23°–25°.
For swimming along the coast, the preliminary assessment is a yellow flag due to the likely wind and short showers, but in case of local increases in wave height, a switch to a more cautious regime is not ruled out.
