While the rest of the country remains free of severe weather alerts, meteorologists anticipate localized instability, including the potential for hail in northeastern regions.
Weather patterns and regional impact
According to the NIMH, the weather across Bulgaria will remain split on Monday. Western Bulgaria is expected to stay mostly sunny throughout the day. In contrast, eastern, central northern, and mountainous areas will see the development of cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds, leading to short-term rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms.
The most intense weather phenomena are forecast for the northeastern districts. Residents in these areas should prepare for windier conditions, with a moderate to strong northwestern wind expected. Conditions for hail are present in these specific zones, though the institute notes that the weather is likely to clear across the entire country by the end of the day.
Did You Know? The yellow code for rainfall is localized specifically to parts of the Varna and Dobrich districts, while the remainder of the country currently holds no warnings for hazardous weather.
While temperatures remain high—ranging between 26°C and 31°C—the combination of atmospheric instability and strong northwestern winds requires caution for those in the affected regions, particularly regarding potential hail.
Temperature outlook
Despite the unsettled weather in the east and the north, temperatures are expected to reach summer levels. Nationwide, maximum temperatures will range between 26°C and 31°C. In the capital, Sofia, temperatures are forecast to hover around 26°C.
