Weather in Bourgas
Bourgas enjoys a temperate continental climate with lots of summer sun. The mild weather for most of the year and long, sunny days in summer enable visitors to make the most of the attractions that Bourgas, the main city on the southern Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, and the surrounding beaches and nature reserves have to offer. The main season is from May through to October and while some Black Sea beaches can become crowded, particularly in August, the beach at Bourgas seems to have remained almost undiscovered.

Bourgas enjoys a long summer with temperatures of 22°C in May and 21°C in October being just a little higher than the northern Black Sea resorts. In the height of summer the winds coming in from the northeast help keep the weather comfortable as temperatures hover around 30°C in July and the humidity reaches its highest level in August. Indeed, summer in Bourgas can be idyllic. Towards the end of May the sea temperature reaches 20°C and stays a very pleasant 22°C-25°C from June until September. The average air temperature is still a warm 21°C in October and it can be a very agreeable time to visit the city and the charming fishing ports and countryside nearby, but some of the museums and attractions do close in September. The area is geared towards summer tourism although, with between eight and eleven hours of sunshine each day from the beginning of May until the end of September, Bourgas does enjoy a lot of summer.
