Rain and Clouds Across Bulgaria as Temperatures Stay Mild on April 1

Atmospheric pressure across the country remains below the typical levels for this time of year and is expected to stay that way.

Over the next 24 hours, conditions will be dominated by widespread cloud cover. During the night and through the morning hours on April 1, rainfall will occur in some areas, mainly affecting Southern Bulgaria and mountainous regions. At higher elevations, precipitation will fall as snow. Later in the day, a Mediterranean cyclone approaching from the southwest will lead to more persistent and widespread rainfall, particularly in the afternoon.

Winds will ease overnight and shift to an east-northeasterly direction, becoming moderate during the day. Minimum temperatures will range between 3C and 8C, with Sofia seeing around 4C. Daytime highs are expected to reach between 10C and 15C, with temperatures in the capital close to 10C.

In the mountains, the weather will remain overcast with precipitation in many areas, becoming more prolonged in the second half of the day. Snowfall is expected above approximately 1,300 meters. Winds will be strong from the east-southeast. Temperatures at 1,200 meters will reach around 5C, while at 2,000 meters they will drop to about minus 1C.

Along the Black Sea coast, skies will also be mostly cloudy. Before midday, clearer conditions are expected mainly along the northern coastline. Winds will blow moderately from the east-northeast. Maximum temperatures will be between 10C and 11C, while sea water temperatures will remain at 8C to 9C. Wave conditions will be slight, around 2 on the Beaufort scale.

In Sofia, the sun will rise at 7:09 a.m. and set at 7:52 p.m., providing around 12 hours of daylight. The moon will set at 6:39 a.m. and rise again at 7:29 p.m., with its phase approaching full, just one day before the full moon.
