A sharp cooling is sweeping across the country, and cloudy, windy weather with rain showers is expected along the Black Sea coast today. In Burgas, temperatures will reach 22 degrees, but strong northwesterly winds will make it feel even colder. In the rest of the country, mercury levels will move between 17 and 22 degrees, according to media reports.
Cloud cover will be significant along the coast, with rain showers in some areas. In the morning, moderate to occasionally strong winds will blow from the north-northwest, shifting to an easterly direction in the afternoon and weakening to moderate. Maximum temperatures along the Black Sea will vary between 19 and 22 degrees, with the highest value—22 degrees—expected in Burgas. Minimum temperatures overnight will drop to 16 degrees.
