A light jacket today, an umbrella for tomorrow

The first working day of winter time starts cloudy and damp, with 14 degrees at 8 a.m. In the afternoon it will reach 18 and feel like it, as the wind doesn't bite. A light jacket or a sweatshirt over a T-shirt is enough for the whole day.

Do the jobs that need dry weather today: laundry on the drying rack, washing the car, and the leaves on the balcony grates and in front of the entrance. Tomorrow it will rain heavily, and wet leaves easily clog the drains.

It may drizzle briefly today. The chance is 30 percent, and the water will barely wet the paving stones, under half a millimeter. In the morning, at midday and in the evening the probability is almost zero, so if it does drip, it will be quick.

Humidity 92 percent at 8 a.m.

The morning is mild for the end of October, but wet. People who feel the weather in their joints often complain on such gray, damp mornings. Warm socks and closed shoes are a better choice than mesh sneakers.

By 2 p.m. humidity drops to 80 percent, and at 8 p.m. it is 71 percent at 16 degrees. Of the 11 hours of daylight, the sun will show itself for about 6 in total.

Tomorrow the weather turns to rain and cooling. Weather-sensitive people often feel such a change as early as the evening before, with a headache, fatigue or poor sleep. If you are one of them, leave the heavier tasks for today and go to bed earlier.

North wind with gusts up to 25 km/h and UV 3

The wind is from the north, around 12 km/h, at times stronger. On the Bridge, along the seafront promenade and in open spots in the Sea Garden it feels cool, especially in the evening. Among the trees in the park there is hardly any wind.

The UV index is 3. Around midday a hat is enough for the kids at the playground, and sunscreen isn't needed. The air is clean, with an air quality index of 30, so dirty air is no obstacle today for walks and playing outside.

Workout before sunset at 17:11

The sun rose at 06:36 and sets at 17:11. Anyone running or cycling after work will head out in the dark, so a reflective vest or a headlamp is a must. The morning damp makes the air heavy to breathe, while around midday, in dry and the warmest weather, it is most pleasant for sport outdoors.

Driving at dusk after work

This evening the trip home from work coincides with nightfall. Pedestrians in dark clothes on "Hristo Botev" and "Demokratsia" are hard to see, and wet leaves on the road lengthen braking distances. Drive with your lights on all day and slow down in front of schools when the children come out.

Children and school

Dress the children in layers: in the morning they need a jacket, by midday they will take it off. Put it in the backpack, because at five in the afternoon it is already cool and dark.

Sea around 18 degrees and waves up to 20 cm

The water is as warm as the air in the afternoon, and the waves are barely visible. The sea is for swimming only for the hardened, because the north wind quickly chills a wet body. For a walk on the sand the day is nice.

On 26 October 1996 it was only 12 degrees

On the same date 30 years ago in Burgas it was between 6 and 12 degrees and there was a little rain, about 2 mm. The warmest in the archive was in 2006, about 20 degrees. In 2016 the maximum was 14 degrees, and the rain reached nearly 5 mm. The usual for the date is about 15 degrees, so today is three degrees warmer.

The five years in the archive show no clear direction: the warmest and the coolest 26 October are ten years apart, and last year the day ended with a maximum of 17 degrees.

On Tuesday heavy rain and a west wind

Tomorrow rain is almost certain, about 26 mm, at 11 to 14 degrees and a west wind with gusts up to 27 km/h.
