From Scattered Clouds to Morning Fog
Hello, sea and nature lovers! Today, Friday, 11 September, we are observing a slight change in the meteorological pattern compared to yesterday. While yesterday we enjoyed scattered clouds, today the morning greets us with a denser, typically autumnal fog. However, do not succumb to melancholy – once the fog clears, we will have a long and sunny day, which will provide us with 11.7 hours of sunlight out of the 12.7 available.
Meteorological Picture by Parts of the Day
Morning (08:00): The day begins with lower visibility due to the fog. The temperature will be around 18.2°C, and the high humidity of 91% will create a sensation of coolness. There will be no precipitation, so morning walks along the coast will only be slightly damp from condensation.
Noon (14:00): The sun will do its job and clear the sky. During noon, it will be mostly clear with a temperature around 25.2°C. Humidity will drop to 63%, making the air very pleasant. It is important to note that the thermometer will show around 25.2°C, but due to specific conditions, it will feel like up to 26.5°C.
Evening (20:00): Towards the end of the day, the sky will remain clear, and the temperature will hold at a comfortable 22.5°C. Humidity will increase to 75%, preparing us for a cooler night.
The Sea and the Wind: Conditions for Fishing and Beaching
For those spending time on boats or on the shore, today offers an interesting picture. The wind is blowing from the east at a speed of 17.7 km/h, with gusts expected up to 36 km/h. This easterly wind is key for the Burgas Bay – it can create slight agitation, but today the sea remains relatively calm with a maximum wave height of only 0.54 m. The sea water temperature is an excellent 25.9°C, making today still very suitable for swimming, albeit with a light wind.
For fishermen, this is a stable day as the wind is constant and the sea is not rough. Just be careful with small boats during the eastern gusts.
And in Years Past
If we look at the archives, today's date is very interesting. In 2021, it was the warmest day with 27.1°C, while in 1996, temperatures were significantly lower – only 21.5°C. The average maximum temperature for 11 September over recent decades is 24.6°C. We see that the trend is towards a slight warming of autumn days, but today's 25.3°C remains within the historical average standard.
Practical Tips for Friday
Since it is Friday and many people are preparing for the weekend, here are a few recommendations: Clothing: A light sweatshirt or windbreaker is needed for the morning because of the fog, but for the afternoon hours, light autumn clothing is ideal. Sports and Walks: Ideal weather for cycling or long walks in the Sea Garden. Driving: Be careful in the morning due to fog on the roads near the sea. Sun Protection: Despite the autumn feel, the UV index is 5.8 – do not forget sunscreen if you plan to stay outdoors longer.
Tomorrow: Tomorrow we expect slightly higher temperatures up to 26.7°C and a new batch of fog. Expect the detailed forecast tomorrow to plan your perfect weekend!
