Brace Yourselves for Snow: Bulgaria Faces a Dynamic Weather Week
Thursday will start with a bit of fog in low-lying areas, particularly in hollows, lowlands, and near water basins, reducing visibility slightly. The rest of the day will be sunny with occasional cloud cover over eastern Bulgaria, where light precipitation is possible. Daytime temperatures will range from 8 to 13-14 degrees Celsius.
A Cold Front Triggers Dynamic Changes
The weather takes a turn on Friday as a cold atmospheric front moves in. The northwest wind will pick up, bringing rain to Western Bulgaria by mid-morning and Central Bulgaria by evening. Coastal areas will be cloudy with minimal rainfall. As the front passes, daytime temperatures will drop, settling between 6 and 11 degrees, with slightly warmer temperatures (13-14 degrees Celsius) in the extreme southern and eastern regions.
Snow Alert for Mountainous Regions
As Friday afternoon gives way to evening and night, conditions are primed for snowfall in mountainous regions and some foothills of Western and Central Bulgaria. By nightfall, snow cover will begin to accumulate, reaching significant depths at higher elevations.
Rain and Snow Dominate the Weekend and Early December
A cyclone originating in the Mediterranean will influence Bulgaria’s weather throughout the weekend and into the beginning of December. Expect widespread cloud cover, with rain and snow dominating Western and Central Bulgaria. Meteorological models predict that by Monday, more than 50 centimeters of snow could accumulate in the higher elevations of Rila, Pirin, Vitosha, Western Rhodopes, Osogovo, and Western Stara Planina. These conditions will likely lead to difficult driving conditions on mountain passes and roads.
Daily maximum temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will mostly reach 4-5 degrees Celsius in areas experiencing precipitation, rising to 10-12 degrees Celsius in some eastern parts of the country.
