Rain is expected today mostly along the southern Black Sea coast, with cloudy skies along the rest of the coast. The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) says temperatures will rise to between 14C and 16C.

A moderate to strong north wind will whip up waves of 2-3 on the sea scale. The sea water is 19C to 20C. Air pressure is falling and will come close to the monthly average.

Elsewhere in Bulgaria, clouds will dominate and it will rain in many places. A light to moderate north wind will bring in cold air. Daytime highs will be 10C to 15C, and about 10C in Sofia.

In the mountains it will be mostly cloudy, with a moderate to strong wind from the north-northeast. Below 1,300 metres, rain will fall, and higher up snow. At 1,200 metres the temperature will be about 6C, and at 2,000 metres about minus 1C.
