The Sea and the Wind
For lovers of water sports and beach stays, the conditions are excellent. The sea water temperature is around 26.2°C, which is ideal for swimming. The waves will be calm, with a maximum height of only 0.58 meters. The wind will blow from the northeast at a speed of 15.4 km/h, although gusts are expected that can reach up to 33.1 km/h. This northeasterly breeze will bring slightly fresher air, which will compensate for the midday heat.
Climate View: How is Burgas changing?
Today's date, August 29, is interesting for comparison with the past. If we look at the archives, the average maximum temperature for this day over the last few decades has been 27.1°C. In 2021, we recorded extreme heat of 30.7°C, while in 1996 it was cooler – 23.6°C. Observing the data from 2025, 2021, 2016, 2006, and 1996, a slight trend towards increasing average temperatures and less frequent precipitation during this period is observed. This is not a cause for alarm, but a reason for more precise planning of our summer stay in the region.
Practical tips for Saturday
Clothing and protection: Given the UV index of 6.35, be sure to use sunscreen and a hat if you are outdoors between 11:00 and 16:00. For the evening, it is good to have a light jacket or a pareo with you, as the northeasterly wind may create a sensation of coolness.
Sports and walks: The day is ideal for cycling or long walks along the coast. The air quality is excellent (AQI 37), making any outdoor activity safe and beneficial.
Driving: Roads will be dry, but watch out for stronger wind gusts if you are traveling through open sections near the sea.
