Haskovo reaches a high of 21°C today, the same as yesterday. The night was different: the low fell to 8°C yesterday, but today it stays at 17°C or above.

The wind makes the difference. It blows from the southwest at about 42 km/h, with gusts of up to 63 km/h. Yesterday's strongest gusts reached 37 km/h.

Warm on the thermometer, cool outside

It is 17°C at 8am, but with wind at about 35 km/h it feels like 11°C. The air is warmer than it will feel when you leave for work.

The temperature hits 21°C by noon, when the wind is strongest at about 40 km/h. It feels like 14°C, and out in the open the sun gives almost no warmth.

At 8pm it is 17°C and feels like 12°C. It stays at 17°C overnight, and the wind eases to about 29 km/h, so it still feels like 12°C.

Sun, but almost no rain

The sky is mostly sunny, and clear at night. There is a 21% chance of rain, with about half a millimetre possible, so you will not need an umbrella. The sun is weak, the UV index is 2.3 and you do not need sunscreen.

The day is short. The sun rises at 7:03am and sets at 5:00pm, so the evening wind will hit you after dark.

Jacket, scarf and extra care on the road

Dress for 12–14°C, not for 21°C. A jacket with a hood, or a hat, is better than a thin top, and a scarf will not hurt in the morning and evening.

Drivers should take care on open roads outside town, where side gusts can push a car off line. On the streets of Haskovo, stay away from trees and tall signs.

It is best not to keep children on an open playground for long. Older people can put off their walk until the calmer hours. Bring in anything from the balcony that could fall.

Rain on Saturday, colder on Sunday

Haskovo can expect rain tomorrow, with a 72% chance. The high drops to 17°C and the low is 9°C.

Sunday turns cloudy and much cooler, with a high of 10°C by day and 7°C at night. So the jacket you took out today because of the wind will stay on its hanger until next week.
