Weather in Bulgaria

The weather in Bulgaria is influenced mostly by the Atlantic, European and Mediterranean climate zones resulting in four amazing and tender seasons:
hot, dry and sunny summers;
long, soft and pleasant autumns;
cold, damp, snowy and white winters;
fresh, blooming and energetic springs;

Bulgaria's most comfortable temperatures are found mid May to mid September. Be sure to take a sweater, even in the summer, for cool evenings. Always lit by the sun Bulgaria has between 2200 and 2500 hours of sunlight per year. The greater part of Bulgaria has a moderate continental climate, which is tempered by Mediterranean influences in the south. The average annual temperature is 51° F (10.5° C), but this conceals a wide variation; temperatures as low as -37° F (-38° C) and as high as 113° F (45° C) have been recorded. Mean annual precipitation ranges from about 18 inches (450 millimetres) in the northeast to more than 47 inches in the highest mountains. The lowlands receive snowfall from mid-October to mid-May, with an annual average of 25-30 days of snow cover. Hailstorms occur between May and August.
