Wednesday will bring predominantly sunny conditions across Bulgaria, though patches of morning fog are expected in some plains and low-lying areas before visibility improves.

Early temperatures will range from minus 2 to 3, with Sofia starting the day at around 1. As the day progresses, high and medium-level clouds will gradually increase over Western Bulgaria during the afternoon. Winds will remain light, almost calm in many areas. Daytime highs will generally fall between 11 and 16, reaching about 14 in the capital. Along the Black Sea coast, temperatures will be lower, between 7 and 10.

Mountain regions will enjoy mostly clear skies for much of the day, with cloud cover building over the western massifs later on. A light to moderate west-southwesterly wind will blow at higher elevations. Temperatures are expected to reach around 8 at 1,200 meters and approximately 4 at 2,000 meters.

The Black Sea coastline will also see mainly sunny weather, although fog may form in the morning hours. Winds will be light to moderate from the east-southeast. Sea surface temperatures will range from 4?6 along the northern coast to 7?8 in the south, with wave heights of 1?2 points.

Across the broader Balkan Peninsula, sunshine will dominate for most of the day. However, cloudiness will thicken from the west-northwest, and by evening light rainfall is possible in parts of the northwestern Balkans. Forecast highs include 14 in Sofia, 12 in Istanbul, 13 in Bucharest, 16 in Thessaloniki, 18 in Belgrade and Skopje, and 19 in Athens.
