13 degrees at 8 in the morning, sky almost clear
Saturday in Burgas starts off cool. At 8 o'clock the thermometer shows 13 degrees, humidity is 73 percent, the sky is mostly clear. The sun rises at 07:09 and sets at 18:48, daylight lasts about 12 hours, of which 11 are sunny. No rain is expected, the chance of precipitation is zero from morning to evening.
20 degrees at noon, but feels like 17
It's warmest around 14:00, when the mercury reaches 20 degrees under broken clouds. Because of the wind, the body feels up to 17, so in the shade near the water it will be cooler than expected. Humidity drops to 48 percent, the air is dry and pleasant for long walks. The UV index is 5, which is not small for October, and after two hours outdoors the face can catch some color.
Northeasterly wind 19 km/h with gusts up to 40
It blows from the northeast, around 19 kilometers per hour, and in open areas toward the Bridge, the port and the beach the gusts reach 40. The same wind has been blowing for a third day in a row, only slightly weaker than Friday. The northeasterly brings air straight from the sea and doesn't let the afternoon warm up as much as the thermometer shows. Along the seaside alley, people hold their hats with their hand, and a light vest isn't enough.
Evening 16 degrees and clear sky
At 8 in the evening there remain 16 degrees under mostly clear skies and humidity of 68 percent. Between noon and evening there's only a four-degree difference, meaning the evening is mild for the start of October. Good weather for a walk in the Sea Garden, as long as you have a jacket.
The water is 21 degrees, waves up to 1.1 meters
The sea remains at 21 degrees, warmer than the air in the morning. For the brave, it's a day for swimming, though getting out of the water in a 19 kilometer per hour wind is a bit chilly. Waves are up to 1.1 meters, lower than Friday, but with a northeasterly wind the open beaches are restless and it's better to stay in the bays with children. The air is clean, the European index is 28, which means good quality.
In 2025, on this date, 66 millimeters of rain fell
The same date over the years looks quite different. Last year, on October 3rd in Burgas, 65.7 millimeters of rain fell with only 17 degrees as a maximum, that is, the coldest and wettest October 3rd among those compared. At the other extreme is 2016 with 24 degrees and not a drop, as well as 2006 also with 24. In 1996 it was 22 degrees, in 2021 it was 20. The average maximum for this date over these years is around 22 degrees, meaning today's 20 is slightly below the usual. The long record shows that warm and dry starts to October along our coast are becoming increasingly common, and the sea water stays above 20 degrees for longer after the end of the season.
For a walk and a bike ride, but with a layer you can take off
Morning calls for a jacket, afternoon for a long-sleeve shirt. The most comfortable option is something that can be taken off and carried in hand, since there's a seven-degree difference between 8 o'clock and noon. For running and cycling along the alley toward Sarafovo, it's better before 11 or after 16 o'clock, when the sun isn't scorching, and with a 19 km/h wind, head out against it and return with it. Drivers should be careful on the open stretches along the road to Sozopol and on the Asparuhov Bridge, where a gust of 40 could push the car sideways. Face cream isn't unnecessary if you're planning a long afternoon outdoors.
On Sunday, 10 degrees in the morning
Sunday starts off colder, with 10 degrees, reaching 20 again, the wind drops to 10 kilometers per hour with gusts up to 22, no rain is expected.
