Weather in Burgas on September 16, 2026: Cloudy and mild autumn morning

Then and Now: Autumn Rhythms in Burgas

While today, Wednesday, 16 September, we enjoy the soft autumn hues, history reminds us how variable this weather can be. Looking back, the same date in 1996 was significantly colder, with temperatures barely reaching 20.1°C. Compared to the hot day in 2025, when the weather in Burgas reached a peak of 27.6°C, today's indicators place us in a more moderate, balanced zone. The average maximum temperature for this day in recent years is around 24.1°C, which shows that today's 22.6°C is a typically autumnal experience for our coast.

Meteorological picture for today

Today the sky over Burgas will be mostly cloudy, but do not worry – there will be no precipitation. The day will be rich in light, with about 11 hours of sunlight out of the 12.5 total available. Here is how the day will develop in parts:

• Morning (08:00): We start with a cloudy sky and a temperature of 16.2°C. The high humidity of 83% will create a sense of freshness, ideal for an early walk.
• Noon (14:00): The clouds will disperse and we will see a clear sky. The temperature will rise to 22.3°C, and humidity will drop to 60%, which will make the air very pleasant.
• Evening (20:00): The evening will be mostly clear and calm, with a temperature around 20.9°C and humidity of 65%.

The wind will blow from the east at a speed of 16.2 km/h, with gusts that can reach up to 33.5 km/h. This easterly wind often brings more humid air from the sea, which can add a sensation of coolness during stronger gusts.

The Sea and Air Quality

For lovers of marine pleasures, the water remains relatively warm for this time of year – around 25.1°C. Since the waves are low (max. 0.32 m), the sea is calm and suitable for swimming, although calmer than in the summer months. The air quality is excellent, with an AQI index of 34, which means the air is «good» and is perfectly safe for all types of physical activity.

Health and Bio-forecast: What to watch out for?

Today requires attention from weather-sensitive people. The combination of moderate wind and a UV index of 5.5 means that despite the cloudiness, solar radiation is still active. Parents with small children should plan for light clothing that can adapt to the change in humidity throughout the day. For athletes – the gusts of wind from the east can affect balance when cycling or running along the seaside promenade, so we recommend a more moderate pace. The decreased humidity around noon will help with easier breathing, which is a positive factor for the lungs.

Practical tips for Wednesday

Clothing: Use the principle of «layers». In the morning, you will need a light jacket or sweater, but for lunch, a long-sleeved t-shirt will be enough.
Sports and walks: Ideal weather for long walks along the coast, but avoid the strongest wind gusts if you are in open areas.
Driving: Visibility is good, but be careful when passing through coastal roads if the wind becomes stronger.
