Fog covers the lakes around Burgas this morning, and humidity at 8 a.m. is 98 percent. The day will be calm and mild, with a high of 19 degrees and light rain under one millimeter at a 28 percent chance. Of the 11 daylight hours, the sun will show itself for about 5.
Fog over Vaya and Atanasovsko Lake at 8 a.m.
The sun rises at 07:31, but it is hardly visible through the fog. At 8 a.m. it is 12 degrees, and in the damp air the cold feels stronger than the thermometer shows. On the way to work and school, a jacket and scarf won't be superfluous.
The fog is thickest near Vaya, Atanasovsko Lake and the Salt Pans. If you are driving toward Sarafovo, the airport or Pomorie, turn on your low beams and keep a greater distance. The asphalt is wet, and fallen leaves on the streets in Lazur and along the Sea Garden lengthen braking distances.
Wind of just 4 km/h and smooth water on the lakes
A light wind blows from the southwest, and the gusts do not exceed 11 km/h. On the shore, the wind is barely felt. The water on the lakes is smooth and the birds are easy to see once the fog lifts toward late morning.
Atanasovsko Lake and Vaya lie on the Black Sea migratory route, which ornithologists call Via Pontica. By the end of October, the big flocks of storks and pelicans have already passed south. Now it is the turn of the ducks, cormorants and herons that spend the winter on the lakes, and on calm days flocks of cranes also pass over the coast.
For a walk with binoculars, the path along Atanasovsko Lake and the Poda reserve near Kraymorie are suitable. Set out after 10 a.m., when you can see farther.
18 degrees and a little sun at 2 p.m.
At noon it is 18 degrees, and in the warmest hour the body feels up to 20. Humidity drops to 76 percent. The forecast shows light rain, but the chance of drops at this hour is only 3 percent, so the lunch break can be spent outside.
The ultraviolet index is 3. The sun no longer burns, and sunscreen isn't needed for an hour outdoors. Noon is the best time for running or cycling along the seaside promenade, because the air is clean, with an air quality index of 34, which is a good level.
Broken clouds and 17 degrees at 8 p.m.
The sun sets at 18:17, two minutes earlier than yesterday. At 8 p.m. it is 17 degrees, the clouds break up and the chance of rain is 13 percent. Humidity rises to 88 percent and dew falls on the grass in the parks.
The evening is mild for a walk after work, but after sunset it is good to have something with long sleeves. The road will be damp and dark, and pedestrians on unlit stretches toward Kraymorie should wear light-colored clothing.
Sea of 19 degrees and waves up to 20 centimeters
The water is around 19 degrees, and the waves are barely noticeable. The sea is calm, but with the cool morning air, swimming is only for those used to cold water. For everyone else, the day is more for a walk on the sand and along the Bridge.
The warmest on this date was in 2021
On 22 October 2021, it reached up to 21 degrees in Burgas. The coldest was in 1996, with a maximum of only 11 and a minimum of 8. In 2006, more than 5 millimeters of rain fell, more than all the other years combined.
The usual maximum for this date is around 17 degrees, so today is two degrees warmer. In 2021 and 2025 the day reached 20 and 21 degrees, while in 1996 it did not exceed 12. Five years is too few for a firm conclusion, but warm days on this date are more frequent in the newer years of the archive.
Seven degrees of difference between morning and afternoon
Dress in layers: a shirt, a fleece and a waterproof jacket that you can take off after noon. Children in kindergarten and school should have spare socks, because the grass in the yards stays wet until late. Cyclists should ride in the morning with lights both front and back.
Friday with up to 10 millimeters of rain
Showers arrive tomorrow, up to 10.5 millimeters with a 75 percent probability, temperatures are between 12 and 17 degrees, and the wind blows from the west with gusts up to 22 km/h.
