About 28 Liters of Rain by Noon
Monday in Burgas starts with heavy rain. In the morning the chance of precipitation is 100 percent, and about 28 liters per square meter will fall over the day. Yesterday's rain was lighter.
The rain is heaviest while people head out for work and school. At 8 a.m. it is 15 degrees, and humidity reaches 97 percent. Low-lying intersections, underpasses and streets with clogged drains fill up with water quickly, so allow at least ten extra minutes for your commute.
At 2 p.m. It Is Mostly Clear and 18 Degrees
Toward noon the rain stops. At 2 p.m. the sky opens up and the thermometer shows 18 degrees, which will feel like 17. The chance of precipitation drops to 34 percent, and humidity to 78. The ultraviolet index is 3, so you don't need sunscreen for a short walk.
The evening cools down. At 8 p.m. it is 12 degrees, cloudy and dry, and humidity climbs back up to 93 percent. During the night the temperature falls to 11 degrees. The sun rises at 06:43 and sets at 17:03, so it is already dark after work.
Northwest Wind with Gusts up to 40 km/h
The wind changes direction. Yesterday it blew from the east; today it comes from the northwest, at about 27 km/h and at times stronger. It brings cold from the land and the lakes, so outdoors the afternoon will feel cooler than the thermometer shows. On the seafront promenade and at the harbor, an umbrella easily turns inside out. The wind blows toward the sea and does not drive the waves toward the beach.
No Need to Water Gardens Until Wednesday
Today's and tomorrow's rain soak the soil deeply. If you have a yard in Banevo, Vetren or Kraymorie, you can switch off drip irrigation. Pour the water out of the saucers under the pots on your balcony, because roots rot in standing water.
The rain and the gusts will bring down many leaves from the plane trees and chestnuts along the boulevards and in the Sea Garden. Wet leaves on paving stones are slippery and clog the drain grates, which causes puddles in the street. If there is a drain in front of your entrance, running a rake over it helps.
Don't walk on or mow the soaked grass: the soil gets compacted and then the grass turns yellow in patches. The ground is also too wet for planting bulbs and shrubs, so wait for the top layer to dry, otherwise the clods stick together and the roots are left without air. The chrysanthemums blooming in yards now tolerate the rain, but it is a good idea to tie tall stems to a stake because of the wind.
Waterproof Jacket and Closed Shoes for the Morning
In the morning you need a hooded jacket, waterproof shoes and an umbrella with sturdy ribs. In the afternoon, when it warms up a little, you can unzip the jacket, but in the evening with the wind you will need a thick sweater again.
Drivers should go slower and keep a bigger distance from the car in front. On wet leaves and in puddles tires lose traction, and in heavy rain the wipers barely keep up. Pass bus stops slowly so you don't splash people waiting for the bus.
For running and cycling, the best time is around noon and early afternoon, when it is dry. The air is clean, the air quality index is 26, which is a good rating.
Heavy Rain Again on Tuesday
Tomorrow it will rain heavily, about 19 liters per square meter, at 11 to 16 degrees and an east wind with gusts up to 28 km/h.
