Close the windows, close the wings of the glazed balconies and put everything inside. This was called by the climatologist Prof. Georgi Rachev in front of bTV, warning of the new stormy wind that is coming.
There will be strong wind in Sofia as well. “In a little while, a 5-day period of calm, anti-cyclonic weather will begin, and we will see the air we breathe. At least in the big cities,” the climatologist pointed out.
On Friday, a cold cyclone will pass through Bulgaria, and a wind will aggressively settle in its rear – a ridge of high atmospheric pressure, and anti-cyclonic weather will be established over the Balkans. It will be cold on Saturday morning, Sunday too, Tuesday and Wednesday it will gradually warm up,” he predicted.
“Winter begins climatically on December 1,” he added.
In his words, the strong wind was due to “a little vicious cyclone – for us”.
It will mainly rain. “I bet, in Sofia at 7:22 p.m. it’s starting to rain,” said prof. Rachev.
Precipitation will be small, the drought continues. “Until Nicholas Day, I don’t see a serious improvement in things.”
In Sofia on Saturday and Sunday morning temperatures can drop to minus 4-6 degrees. On Monday and Tuesday, the maximum will be around 7-8 degrees. “The snow in Sofia on Saturday morning if it is 2-3 cm, that will be it,” he was categorical.
