Thursday in Burgas is dry and warm for mid-November. The night is mild, around 12 degrees, and in the afternoon the thermometer reaches 22. There is no rain, the chance is zero. The morning is cloudy, around noon the clouds break up and the sun shows through between them.
The nights this week are getting warmer and warmer. On Tuesday morning it was around 4 degrees, on Wednesday around 7, and today the weather is almost spring-like.
Western wind with gusts up to 35 km/h
The wind is westerly, around 27 km/h, and blows from the land toward the sea. That is why at 22 degrees it feels like 19 outside, especially on the beach and along the seaside promenade.
Drivers will feel the wind from the side wherever there are no buildings: on the road past Vaya toward Dolno Ezerovo, on the Poda bridge and along the Atanasovska spit toward Sarafovo. Vans and cars with roof racks should drive more carefully.
At 8 a.m.: 13 degrees and 98 percent humidity
The sun rises at 06:55 but stays behind the clouds. The air is saturated with moisture, the grass and benches in the Sea Garden are wet, and there may be fog around the lakes. Cars that spent the night outside will have fogged-up windows, so turn on the blower before you set off.
A thin jacket or a sweatshirt is enough for work and school. Those who run in the morning should wear sneakers that don't let water through.
At 2 p.m.: 22 degrees through broken clouds
Midday is the most pleasant part of the day. Humidity drops to 63 percent, the air dries out and the jacket can stay on the back of the chair. The UV index is 2, so you don't need sunscreen, and sunglasses are only needed if the sun is in your eyes.
Air quality is excellent, with an index of 20. The weather is good for cycling along the path from the Sea Casino to Sarafovo or for a walk to Poda and Lake Atanasovsko. Riding into the wind is hard, so head out against it and come back with the wind at your back.
The evening is at 18 degrees, but the sun sets at 16:52
It gets dark even before five, and the commute home is by headlights. On dark neighborhood streets, people in dark clothing are hard to see, so a reflective strip on a child's backpack is not superfluous.
At 8 p.m. it is around 18 degrees, and humidity rises to 80 percent. For an evening walk along Bogoridi or in the garden, a light jacket is enough.
The wind from the land carries warm water out into the sea
When the westerly wind blows for longer, it pushes the upper, warmer layer of water out into the bay, and colder water from below rises up to the shore. The sea off Burgas in mid-November has already cooled anyway and is not for swimming.
Jellyfish gather in warm, calm water, such as in summer. In cold water and wind they are rarely found near the shore. The mussel farms near Sozopol and Chernomorets operate in autumn too, and with a wind from the land the waves near the shore are small and boats go out more easily.
Autumn is also the bird season. The Burgas Bay and the lakes around the city lie on one of the biggest migration routes for birds in Europe, and in winter many gulls and cormorants stay here. From the bridge in the Sea Garden and from the harbor in Sarafovo, today they can be seen well over the calm water near the shore.
Friday with a southwest wind up to 44 km/h
Tomorrow is mostly clear, between 17 and 23 degrees, with a southwest wind up to 44 km/h, gusts up to 72 and a 25 percent chance of light rain.
