Atmospheric pressure across Bulgaria is expected to decrease slightly and will remain below the typical levels for this time of year. Overnight conditions will be mostly clear and calm in many areas.

Winds will remain light to moderate from the east-northeast. Daytime temperatures near the coast will range between 9° and 11°. Sea water temperatures will remain relatively cold, between 6° and 9°, while wave activity is expected to be moderate, around 2 to 3 on the sea state scale.
