Weather in Burgas on November 11: dry, up to 18 degrees and westerly wind

Chilly morning, no umbrella needed all day

Wednesday in Burgas is dry. The sky is cloudy until almost noon, then it breaks up and the day is warmer than Tuesday. The night and early morning are the coolest, around 7 degrees, so for an early start take a jacket or a thick sweatshirt. In the afternoon it feels like up to 16 degrees and you can carry your jacket in your hand.

You won't need an umbrella, but the wind is westerly and at times blows hard. At bus stops and out in the open by the sea you will need a scarf or a jacket with a high collar that fastens up to the chin.

Wet grass and fogged-up windows at 8 a.m.

The sun rises at 06:54, but the clouds hide it. At 8 a.m. it is 10 degrees, and humidity reaches 96 percent. The grass in the Sea Garden and in the small gardens between the apartment blocks is wet, and so are the benches. For a morning run, wear sneakers that keep water out.

Cars that spent the night outside have damp windows. Turn on the defroster before you set off, and drive more slowly on the wet asphalt by the lakes and on the bridges.

18 degrees and a little sun around 2 p.m.

Around noon the clouds break up and by 2 p.m. the thermometer reaches 18 degrees. Humidity drops to 64 percent, and the air is drier and pleasant. This is the best time for a walk, a run or a bike ride.

The ultraviolet index is 2: the sun does not burn and you don't need sunscreen. The air is clean, with a European index of 19, which is an excellent rating, so people with asthma and families with small children can stay outside longer.

Westerly wind around 20 km/h, gusting up to 37

The wind blows from the west, from the land toward the sea. It is usually around 20 km/h, but in gusts it reaches 37. A westerly wind pushes the waves out to sea and the sea is calmer near the shore, but on the beach and on the Bridge it blows hard. Cyclists heading to Kraymorie and along the lakes will feel it as a headwind or a crosswind.

The gusts can break dry branches off old trees, so do not park under tall poplars and plane trees.

Leaves fall fast, flowerpots dry out

With no rain and with wind, the leaves on the streets fall quickly, mostly from the lindens, chestnuts and plane trees. Rake them in the afternoon, when they have dried and become lighter. Dry leaves are good for compost or for covering perennial flower beds before the cold sets in.

Lawns don't need watering; the morning moisture and Tuesday's light rain are enough for them. Flowerpots on balconies dry out faster, because the westerly wind dries the soil in them within a day. Water the flowers there in the morning, before the wind picks up.

The soil is still warm, so you can plant tulip, daffodil and hyacinth bulbs, as well as trees and shrubs. Heavy pruning of roses is left for spring.

Dark at 16:53, evening at 12 degrees

The sun sets at 16:53 and shortly after five it is already dark. At 8 p.m. it is 12 degrees, cloudy, and humidity rises to 89 percent. Take a jacket for the way back from work. On poorly lit streets in the outlying neighborhoods, pedestrians are advised to wear something light-colored, and drivers to turn on their lights earlier.

22 degrees on Thursday

On Thursday there is broken cloud, from 12 to 22 degrees, no rain, with a westerly wind around 22 km/h and gusts up to 38.
