A View from the Sea: Silver Nuances Over the Bay
If you go for a walk along the coast of Burgas this morning, you will be presented with a scene that is simultaneously melancholic and promising. A thick, white fog spreads over the bay, „erasing“ the boundary between the sky and the sea. The air is saturated with moisture, and there is a sense of freshness that reminds you that autumn is already here. But do not be misled by the gray beginning – the fog is only a short diversion. As soon as the sun breaks through the clouds, a distinct clarity will appear, and the humidity will drop, turning the day into one of those pleasant, golden September days.
Meteorological Detail for Thursday
Today's weather forecast for Burgas shows an interesting dynamic between morning moisture and daytime warmth. The day will be exceptionally bright – we will have 11.6 hours of sunlight out of a total of 12.4 available. The temperature range will be from 15.5°C to 22.9°C, with the perceived temperature reaching up to 22.5°C.
Morning (08:00): It will be predominantly foggy with high humidity of 91%. The temperature will be around 15.6°C. Despite the fog, there will be no precipitation (0% probability).
Noon (14:00): The fog will disperse completely, revealing a clear sky. The temperature will rise to 22.8°C, and the humidity will drop to a comfortable 48%.

The wind will blow from the east at a speed of 14.8 km/h, but gusts are expected that can reach up to 31.7 km/h – this is the typical „sea breath“ of our coast, which brings freshness. The UV index is 5.45, which requires attention if you plan to spend more time in direct sunlight.
The Sea and Air Quality
For sea lovers, today is an excellent day for a calm walk. The sea water temperature is around 25°C, and the waves are minimal – barely 0.24 meters. The sea is almost calm, making it ideal for swimming, as long as you are not deterred by the light easterly wind. The air quality is excellent (AQI 34), which makes today perfect for taking deep breaths amidst nature.
The Green Corner: Gardens and Parks of Burgas
Today's meteorological pattern is very specific for urban vegetation. The morning fog is a true gift for the trees in Burgas parks and for the gardens in residential areas. It provides natural hydration to the leaves, which is useful as the soil begins to lose moisture more quickly with the onset of autumn. If you maintain lawns, you may skip watering today, as the morning humidity is high. However, be careful with decorative plants that bloom late in summer – high humidity and wind gusts can accelerate the natural process of leaf fall, so it is good to monitor them for signs of stress.
And Years Ago
The history of our measurements gives us good perspective. On the same date in 2016, we experienced a hot day with 30.9°C, while in 1996, the weather was significantly colder (maximum 20.1°C). The average maximum temperature for September 17 over recent decades is 25.4°C. Today's 22.9°C shows a slight trend toward more moderate but stable autumn temperatures compared to the extreme peaks of past years.
Practical Tips for Today
Clothing: We recommend „layering“. For the morning fog, you will need a light jacket or a sweatshirt, but for the afternoon sunny period, it will be more comfortable to be in lighter summer clothes.
Sports and Walks: Ideal weather for a long walk by the sea or cycling.
Driving: Be careful in the morning in low-lying areas where fog may limit road visibility.
Tomorrow, mostly clear weather is expected with temperatures up to 23.9°C. Expect another sunny and pleasant day, for which we will share details with you tomorrow!
