Weather in Burgas on 30.08.2026: Cloudy summer with pleasant temperatures

Number of the day: 33.1 – the power of the gusts

Today, the focus of the meteorological observer is on the wind. Although the average speed will be moderate, gusts from the east can reach an impressive 33.1 km/h. This easterly wind will bring freshness to the coast, but also slight agitation, which is important to keep in mind if you are planning beach activities.

The day in parts: from cloudy to clear

Sunday begins under a blanket of clouds. In the morning, around 08:00, the temperature will be 19.5°C, and humidity will be high, around 87%, which will create a sensation of soft and moist coolness. Ideal weather for an early walk through the seaside garden, before the sun starts playing with the clouds.

At noon, around 14:00, the sky will break up and we will see more sun, with temperatures rising to 27.8°C. During this period, the perceived heat will be higher – around 30.2°C – due to the combination of heat and humidity. The wind will blow from the east at an average speed of 15.6 km/h. The UV index is at level 6, which requires attention to skin protection, even when cloud cover is higher.

The evening will surprise us with clear skies. By 20:00, we expect 24.6°C with 72% humidity. The sun will hide behind the horizon at 19:48, leaving behind a calm and cozy evening.

The sea and air quality

For sea lovers, the water remains warm and very pleasant for swimming – around 26.6°C. Waves will be low, with a maximum height of barely 0.28 m, making the beach extremely calm and safe. The air quality is excellent, with an AQI index of 37, which means the air in our city is clean and suitable for all kinds of activities.

Greenery in Burgas: what do the gardens say?

Today's cloudiness and moderate wind are beneficial for city parks and gardens. The lack of precipitation (0 mm) means that the soil still requires regular watering, especially for late-season crops and decorative grasses. Cloudy weather reduces the transpiration (evaporation) of plants, which is good for the trees in the city center that are stressed by summer heat. However, be careful with higher wind gusts – they can shake the weaker branches of decorative shrubs that are beginning to prepare for their autumn cycle.

And years ago

If we look back, today's date is interesting. In 2006, today was extremely hot – 30.4°C, while in 1996 the weather was cooler with a maximum of 23.7°C. The average maximum temperature for August 30 over the last two decades is around 28°C. Today's weather falls within normal seasonal limits, without deviating drastically from historical averages.

Practical tips for Sunday

For today's «beach» or «park» mood, we recommend light, breathable fabrics. Since the morning is cooler and the afternoon warmer, it is good to have something to cover up with. If you plan outdoor sports, the wind will be your ally for cooling down, but watch out for the gusts. When driving along coastal roads, be prepared for a slight wind agitation.

Tomorrow we expect fog and slightly lower temperatures. Look forward to the details in tomorrow's bulletin!
