Snowfall and “cooker” cold are coming
In the coming days, the weather will feel like a warm late autumn – with brief thunderstorms and temperatures far above the usual for winter. After the warm period, there is a quick snowy transition to the traditional “Cooker” cold.
On Thursday, daytime temperatures will reach 12-17 degrees, with the highest values in the Pre-Balkans. In the course of the day, a fast cold atmospheric front will follow with a noticeable, at times – powerful, wind wave, which will pass from the northwest to the east over the entire country. Precipitation will be short-lived, in the western and central parts of the Danube Plain and the Pre-Balkans – at times intense. Thunderstorms are also possible. High in the mountains, it will snow, for a short time – intensively.
On the first day of the New Year 2024: Temperatures up to 14 degrees await us
Friday will be rainless. It will start with fog in some low areas of southern Bulgaria. Cloudiness will increase from west to east in the early afternoon. It will remain warm, with daytime temperatures up to 14-15 degrees.
There will be more clouds and fog at the start of the weekend, but again no rain. On Saturday evening, at night and on Sunday, a Mediterranean cyclone passing over the Balkans will bring rain, and snow in the mountains to the west. In some areas of southern Bulgaria, the quantities will be significant. Unusually for winter, we may also hear thunder, with the greatest probability – in the southeast.
Along the cyclone during the weekend (Saturday afternoon, overnight and Sunday) strong southerly winds will blow, with gusts of wind on the northern mountain slopes. The expected speed is up to 80-90 km/h.
At the back of the cyclone, an influx of cold air will begin on Monday (January 8) afternoon and evening. Precipitation from rain will change to snow. There will be snowfall in the mountains (intense and with greater accumulation in Stara Planina), in the Pre-Balkans and to varying degrees in the Danube Plain. Smaller amounts of snow will also fall in some areas of southern Bulgaria.
The “Kooker” cold will freeze in the days immediately after the snowfall. From January 9, for at least a week, the Balkans will be in captivity of a cold arctic core – the temperatures around the traditional Survakar rituals in Southwest Bulgaria (January 13 and 14) will drop to minus 10 degrees in the morning and around zero in the afternoon.
