13 degrees at departure, 19 at midday
Monday in Burgas is dry and warmer than the weekend. For the trip to work, take a jacket or a light sweater: at 8 a.m. it is 13 degrees, cloudy, and humidity is 72 percent. You won't need an umbrella, as the chance of rain is only 5 percent.
By midday the jacket can stay on the back of your chair. At 2 p.m. it is 19 degrees and humidity drops to 57 percent. The warmest point of the day is 20 degrees, which feels like 19. The clouds stay, but the sun will break through them for about 5 hours out of 11 hours of daylight in total.
The evening is mild.
At 8 p.m. the thermometer still shows 18 degrees, so an after-work stroll in the Sea Garden calls for a light outer layer. Humidity rises again to 74 percent and it is fresher by the water. The ultraviolet index is 3, moderate, and sunscreen is only needed for those who will spend hours outdoors.
West wind with gusts up to 27 km/h
The wind blows from the west, at around 13 km/h, and in gusts reaches 27. In Burgas the west wind comes from the land and the lakes and pushes the water out to sea, so the waves near the shore stay small. In open areas, along the port and on the road by Lake Atanasovsko, the gusts are felt more than between the apartment blocks in Lazur or Vazrazhdane.
The air is clean. The European air quality index is 30, which is a good level, and there is no obstacle to running outdoors.
Water around 19 degrees, waves up to 20 centimeters
The sea off Burgas is smooth, and the water is around 19 degrees. It is cool for swimming for most people, especially with clouds and 13 degrees in the morning. If someone does go in anyway, it is best around midday.
The calm and still-warm water suits jellyfish, which linger where there is no swell, so in the shallows near the North Beach you may see a few. Autumn is also the season for anglers, who catch black scorpionfish and horse mackerel from the breakwater and from boats. With waves this small, heading out into the bay is calm, and the boats going to the mussel farms work without any trouble.
Gulls and cormorants perch on the breakwater and on the port quays. In a smooth sea they fish close to the shore and are easy to watch from the Bridge.
In 2016 on this date it was only 14 degrees
Usually on 19 October in Burgas it is around 16 degrees, so today is about 4 warmer. The coldest 19 October in the archive was in 2016, with a maximum of about 14 degrees. The warmest was in 1996, with 19 degrees and about 3 liters of rain per square meter. Last year on the same date it was from 9 to 18 degrees with no precipitation.
In 2021 and 2025 the maximums for this day were 17 and 18 degrees, while in 2006 and 2016 they did not exceed 14.
Dry pavement and sunset at 18:22
The sun rises at 07:27 and sets at 18:22. If you drive home after six in the evening, you will be driving at dusk, so turn on your lights as soon as you leave the parking lot. The roads in the city and toward Sozopol, Aytos and Pomorie are dry throughout the day.
For cyclists, the wind matters. Toward Kraymorie and Sarafovo the ride is easier, while on the way back, west toward the center, the wind blows in your face. For running, the most comfortable time is between midday and 5 p.m., when it is around 19 degrees and the air is drier.
Send the children to school in layers, with a jacket on top and a T-shirt underneath, because the morning and the afternoon differ by 6 degrees.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, the day begins with fog, the wind turns from the east, and temperatures range from 12 to 20 degrees, with no rain.
