Then and Now: Autumn Rhythms in Burgas
If we look back in time, today's date reminds us of the different faces of our autumns. In 1996, on September 10, Burgas was cooler, with temperatures between 13.5°C and 21.1°C, while in 2016, we enjoyed a true summer with a peak of 28°C. Today, Thursday, September 10, 2026, we find ourselves in a very pleasant balance, marking the gradual onset of the autumn regime while still retaining the summer spirit.
Today is marked by broken clouds, which will provide us with a total of 11.5 hours of sunshine out of the available 12.7 hours of light. This is ideal weather for long walks, without the scorching intensity of mid-summer.

The Sea and Nature: Via Pontica and Beaching
For sea lovers, today is excellent. The sea water temperature is around 25.9°C, which is perfectly comfortable for swimming. Waves will be calm, with a maximum height of about 0.7 meters. Air quality is «good» (AQI 34), making the sea breeze exceptionally clean.
Special attention should be paid to our lakes – Atanasovsko and Vaya. Currently, the bird season along Via Pontica is active. Thanks to the moderate wind and clear sky, this is a perfect moment for birdwatching enthusiasts, as many species are in the midst of their seasonal migration through our region.

Analyzing historical data, we see that the average maximum temperature for September 10 in recent years is around 24.6°C. Today's 25.4°C is slightly above this average, confirming the trend toward warmer autumns in our area. A comparison with 2025 (27.7°C) and 2021 (24.5°C) shows that the weather remains stable and predictable within the autumn transition.
Practical Tips for Thursday
Clothing: We recommend „layering“. In the morning, you will need a light jacket or sweater, but for lunch, a T-shirt will be comfortable. In the evening, temperatures drop, so bring something warmer for a walk by the seaside park.
Sports and Walks: Ideal weather for cycling or a long walk along the coastal promenade. The wind from the east will not be a hindrance, but gusts of 32 km/h may be felt.
Driving: Roads are dry and conditions are excellent, but be careful when crossing the road in areas near the lakes, where wild animals may be encountered.
Tomorrow we expect fog, which will change the picture of the day. Prepare for a more humid morning, but don't forget to come back to us for details!
