Expected Intense Rainfall and Thunderstorms in Northern Bulgaria and Sofia Region

NIMH Warns of Intense Rainfall and Thunderstorms in Northern Bulgaria and Sofia Region

The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) has issued a warning for expected local intense rainfall, thunderstorms, and hail in 10 regions of Northern Bulgaria and the Sofia region. The warning comes as the air mass over the country is expected to become unstable, leading to the development of cumulus and cumulus-rain clouds.

According to NIMH, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and hail conditions are likely to persist in many places, particularly in the afternoon. The wind is expected to blow weak to moderate from the west-northwest, except in Southeastern Bulgaria where it will be moderate from the northeast. Daytime temperatures are also expected to drop, with maximum temperatures ranging between 26° and 31°. The Upper Thracian plain and Sofia are expected to experience temperatures around 26°.

The night of Monday is expected to bring precipitation and thunderstorm activity in Central North and North-Eastern Bulgaria. Significant amounts of rainfall are anticipated in these areas. Over the mountains, cumulus and cumulus-rain clouds will develop, leading to showers and thunderstorms before noon in some places and after noon in many places. A moderate north-westerly wind will accompany the weather, causing temperatures to drop. At a height of 1200 meters, the maximum temperature will be around 20°, while at 2000 meters, it will be about 13°.

Meanwhile, the Black Sea is expected to be mostly sunny and warm during most of the day. However, clouds will increase later in the afternoon, evening, and overnight into Monday, leading to rain and thunder in some areas. A moderate, mostly easterly wind will blow over the sea. Maximum temperatures along the coast will range between 26° and 29°, while the temperature of the sea water will be around 24°. The excitement of the sea is expected to be at 2 points.

Residents and visitors in the affected regions are advised to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The NIMH’s warning is classified under the yellow code, indicating the potential for hail in certain areas.

What precautions should residents in the affected regions take to ensure their safety during the storm

The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) is keeping a close eye on the weather in Northern Bulgaria and the Sofia region, and they have some important information to share. Brace yourselves for intense rainfall, thunderstorms, and even hail. NIMH has identified 10 regions that are most at risk, so if you’re in one of these areas, it’s especially important to pay attention to the forecast.

The reason for this weather madness is an unstable air mass that is hovering over the country. This instability is creating the perfect conditions for the development of cumulus and cumulus-rain clouds, which are responsible for the heavy rain, thunder, and even hail.

NIMH is predicting that these conditions will persist throughout the day, with the worst of it expected in the afternoon. The wind will be blowing weak to moderate from the west-northwest in most areas, but in Southeastern Bulgaria, it will be moderate from the northeast. As a result of this weather, temperatures will drop, with maximum temperatures ranging from 26° to 31°. However, Sofia and the Upper Thracian plain can expect slightly cooler temperatures of around 26°.

The stormy weather is not just a daytime affair. Be prepared for precipitation and thunderstorms in Central North and North-Eastern Bulgaria tonight. These areas can expect significant amounts of rainfall. Over the mountains, there will be the development of cumulus and cumulus-rain clouds, which will result in showers and thunderstorms in various places. The wind will be moderate from the northwest, causing temperatures to drop even more. At 1200 meters above sea level, expect maximum temperatures of around 20°, while at 2000 meters, it will be around 13°.

While the mountains and regions in Northern Bulgaria brace for the storm, it’s sunny and warm along the Black Sea coast during most of the day. However, expect clouds to roll in later in the day, bringing rain and thunder in certain areas. A moderate easterly wind will be blowing over the sea. On the coast, maximum temperatures will range between 26° and 29°, and the sea water will be around 24°. The sea is expected to be moderately choppy with excitement at 2 points.

It’s crucial for residents and visitors in the affected regions to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and take the necessary precautions to ensure everyone’s safety. NIMH has classified this weather warning under the yellow code, which means there is potential for hail in certain areas. Stay safe, stay dry!
