Five temperature records were broken in Bulgaria Sunday, after high south winds brought warm air to the country in the midst of fall.

In Bulgaria however, the weather change resulted in highs at some locations reaching summer values of around 25-30 degrees Centigrade.
Temperature records were marked for Ruse (26.8 C), Plovdiv (25.8 C), Montana (25.5), Vratsa (25 C), and Ahtopol (24.2 C).
