Heavy rain from the morning, a north wind drives away the warm weather
Saturday in Burgas begins with heavy rain. Around 22 mm are expected for the whole day, or 22 liters per square meter, and until the afternoon the rain is 100 percent certain. Water will quickly collect at intersections in the low parts of the city and in underpasses.
The weather turns sharply: on Thursday and Friday the wind was southwesterly and temperatures reached 22–23 degrees, while today a north wind blows, around 25 km/h, bringing colder air. Temperatures are between 6 and 18 degrees, but outdoors it will most often feel like 15.
At 8 a.m.: 13 degrees and 93 percent humidity
The sun rises at 06:58 behind thick clouds and is barely visible. The morning is the wettest part of the day, and with 93 percent humidity a wet jacket chills more than the thermometer shows. For the Saturday market or the walk with the dog, take a raincoat with a hood instead of an umbrella, because in the gusts of the north wind an umbrella easily turns inside out on open streets. Kids should wear rubber boots, not sneakers.
At 2 p.m.: 12 degrees and more rain
Towards noon the rain weakens but does not stop. The thermometer shows 12 degrees, and humidity drops to 87 percent. The ultraviolet index is 2 and the sun is barely felt through the clouds. Anyone planning to run or cycle in the Sea Garden would do better to choose a gym or a pool, and anyone with an outdoor match should check whether it has been postponed.
Wet roads and gusts up to 38 km/h
Until the afternoon drivers will be on wet asphalt. On the Transit Road (Tranzitniya Road) and on the road to Sunny Beach, cars throw up water from puddles and windows fog up in seconds, so the following distance should be at least twice the usual. Anyone who has not yet changed their summer tires will feel the difference when braking today. The gusts are not dangerous, but when overtaking a truck the spray from its wheels blinds you for a moment.
Birds along the Via Pontica conserve their strength at the lakes
Lake Atanasovsko and Vaya lie on the Via Pontica – the second largest bird migration route in Europe. The great passage of storks, pelicans and birds of prey over Burgas is in August and September, and now the birds that will winter here are arriving at the lakes: ducks, coots, cormorants and gulls. Flamingos also remain at Lake Atanasovsko during the winter and can be seen from the road to Pomorie.
In heavy rain birds stay on the water and hardly fly. The north wind blows at their backs, and belated flocks still heading south use such a wind to fly more easily. For binoculars Sunday is more suitable – it is dry and the wind is weaker. Around Vaya birds are best watched from the dike near the Dolno Ezerovo neighborhood, and at Lake Atanasovsko – from the road along the salt pans.
In the evening the sky clears, at 8 p.m. it is 8 degrees
The sun sets at 16:50. By 8 p.m. the rain stops, the sky is mostly clear, and the thermometer shows 8 degrees with 74 percent humidity. It cools quickly, so anyone going out on Saturday evening should wear a warm jacket, a scarf and dry shoes. The air is clean, its quality index is 24 – a good level, and the rain washes the dust from the streets.
On Sunday it is dry, with broken clouds and an east wind of around 18 km/h, gusting up to 36. The temperature is between 5 and 13 degrees and most often feels like 8.
