Northerly wind with gusts up to 30 km/h cools sunny Friday

Friday in Burgas will be mostly sunny, although the forecast shows light rain. Of the 11 hours of daylight, about 10 will be sunny, and precipitation, if any, is up to 0.2 mm, just enough to dampen a car's windshield. The chance of drops for the whole day is 58 percent, and in the morning, at noon and in the evening it falls to 0 and 5 percent.

The wind will be felt more than the rain. It blows from the north at about 14 km/h, and the gusts reach 30. With a high of 15 degrees, the body feels no more than 12. In open places by the sea and around the lakes it is cooler than between the apartment blocks in the center.

Humidity 82 percent and 11 degrees at 8 a.m.

The sun rises at 07:24. The morning is cloudy and humid, and at 8 a.m. it is 11 degrees. Children heading to school are best dressed in layers: a top, a fleece and a jacket that they can take off in the afternoon. The damp cold gets to the feet and neck first, so a scarf won't be superfluous.

By 2 p.m. the air warms to 15 degrees, the clouds break up, and humidity drops to 56 percent. The UV index reaches 4, which is a moderate value. If you are outside for more than an hour around noon, sunglasses and a little face cream will help. The evening is mostly clear and dry, and at 8 p.m. it is 13 degrees with humidity at 63 percent.

Excellent air and a dry afternoon for running

The air quality index is 20, which is an excellent value. For running and cycling, the most suitable time is between 1 and 5 p.m., when it is warmest and driest. On the path by the sea, set out against the wind so that you come back with it at your back, when you are already sweaty.

People who are sensitive to the weather usually feel abrupt changes. Today the temperature changes by only 4 degrees over the day and night, and the dry weather comes after rainy Wednesday, so Friday is calmer than the start of the week. The gusts and the dry air in the afternoon can still dry out the eyes and throat, so drink more water.

The sea is 19 degrees, waves up to 30 cm

The water off Burgas is about 19 degrees, and the waves do not reach 30 centimeters. The sea is quiet, but with 15 degrees in the air and a northerly wind, swimming is only for the hardy. Children can play on the sand in a sheltered spot, wearing a jacket.

In 2021, 27 mm of rain fell on October 16

The archive for this date shows very different days. In 2021 temperatures ranged from 13 to 19 degrees, but it rained heavily, 27 mm. The warmest of these years is 1996, with about 19 degrees and not a drop of rain, and the coolest is 2006, when thermometers did not go above 14.

Last year the day was almost like today's: from 11 to 16 degrees and half a millimeter of precipitation. The usual for October 16 is about 17 degrees, so today is 2 degrees cooler than normal. Over these five years there is no clear direction toward warmer or colder; the day varies from year to year.

Dark shortly after 7 p.m.

On Friday many will head to the villages and country houses. The sun sets at 18:26 and shortly after 7 p.m. it is already dark, so headlights need to come on earlier than in summer. Gusts of up to 30 km/h push the car on the bridges and on the open road along Atanasovsko Lake, especially if you are driving a van or a car with a roof rack.

An evening walk in the Sea Garden is a good idea, because the sky is clear and dry. At 13 degrees and with wind, children need a warm jacket and a hat.

Saturday with 9 degrees in the morning

On Saturday morning it is colder, about 9 degrees, rising to 15 in the afternoon, the wind blows from the northwest, and the chance of drops is 23 percent.
