A weather warning for dangerous conditions has been issued across the entire country. An orange code is in effect for 20 regions, while a first-degree warning has been issued for the remaining regions.

Heavy rain and snow are expected, as well as the formation of black ice. Rain is currently falling in almost the entire country, and in the regions of Blagoevgrad, Montana, Pazardzhik, Pernik, and Sofia, it is turning into snow in some places. High humidity and low temperatures create conditions for the formation of black ice.

A worsening of the meteorological and road conditions is expected, especially in places where roads are not treated.

Due to the expected snowfall and low temperatures, Sofia Municipality is temporarily closing the road sections to "Aleko" and "Golden Bridges" from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM today and tomorrow. Only public transport will operate, with readiness to launch additional lines if necessary.
