The southwesterly wind comes from the land and blows out over the bay toward the sea. Along the beach the waves are lower than with an easterly wind, but small boats will struggle to return to shore. Gusts are felt most strongly along the seafront promenade and on the Bridge in the Sea Garden. Because of the wind, 23 degrees feels like 17.

Drivers will feel sideways shoves on the Poda bridge, along the Atanasovska Spit toward Sarafovo, and on the road to Sozopol past Kraimorie. Vans and cars with trailers should drive more slowly. Do not leave your car under old poplars and plane trees.

Morning 19, afternoon 22 degrees

The sun rises at 06:57. At 8 o'clock it is around 19 degrees, the sky has broken clouds, and humidity is 78 percent. Nights this week are getting warmer and warmer: on Wednesday the forecast minimum was 7 degrees, on Thursday 12, and today it does not drop below 17.

At 14:00 the thermometer shows 22 degrees, with a daily high of 23. Humidity drops to 56 percent. No rain is expected. The ultraviolet index is 2, the sun does not burn, and sunscreen is not needed.

The sun sets at 16:51. At 20:00 the sky is clear, around 18 degrees, and humidity rises to 71 percent. The air is clean: the quality index is 24, meaning good.

Leaves fall, dry branches break

Gusts of up to 71 km/h will bring down a large part of the leaves still remaining on the trees along the streets and in the parks. Dry and rotten branches may fall onto paths and sidewalks. During the hours of strongest wind it is better not to stand under tall trees in the Sea Garden and in Izgrev park.

Pots with chrysanthemums and geraniums on balconies should be brought inside or tied down, especially on the upper floors. Young trees planted this autumn in the yards of Vetren, Banevo and Gorno Ezerovo need a stake and a tie, otherwise the wind bends them and loosens the roots.

The wind and dry air in the afternoon dry out the soil and the pots, but watering today makes no sense, because it will rain heavily on Saturday. Anyone who has decided to plant tulips, daffodils or trees can do it today, tomorrow's rain will water them.

It is best to rake the leaves off the grass today, while they are dry. When wet, they form a dense layer and smother the grass. Clear the gutter grates and drains in front of the house so that the water can drain away tomorrow. In this wind, do not spray and do not cut branches.

Windbreaker for the street, running in the shelter

Morning and evening it is under 20 degrees, and the wind cuts through. A thin jacket or a windbreaker that blocks the wind is enough, while a brimmed hat will fly away. Running and cycling are more pleasant between the apartment blocks in the neighborhoods, where the buildings stop the wind, than on the path along the sea.

The afternoon until sunset remains for a walk, because it already gets dark at 17:00. Anyone traveling for the weekend had better leave on Friday, while the road is dry.

Saturday: heavy rain and up to 17 degrees

On Saturday the wind turns northerly, heavy rain of about 9 mm falls, and the temperature is between 7 and 17 degrees.
