Bulgarians and visitors to the country are in for a sizzling hot summer, which was already heralded by the record-highs at the beginning of May.

In May and June, temperatures will come off the boil regularly with spells of cold northwestern air cooling down the country, only for the sweltering weather to be back with a vengeance.

The sizzling weather will continue sweeping Bulgaria in July and will reach its peak in August, turning it into the hottest month of this year's summer.

The mercury will zoom up to 35-40C in the southwestern parts of the country and the citizens of Sandanski, Petrich, Pazardzhik, Chirpan and Stara Zagora should brace for sweltering weather especially during the dry days of August.

Lows have been forecast at 10°-15°.

Tourists in Black Sea resorts will enjoy more than sunny weather and Mediterranean-like sea waves as highs will hit 35C along the southern coast.

Medics urge people with heart problems to stay home during the hottest hours of the day. Drivers should be on their highest alert and take regularly short breaks with refreshments.

The highest summer temperature was recorded in Bulgaria in 1916 - 45,2C.
