The Bulgarian Association of Travel Agencies estimates that between 300,000 and 340,000 Bulgarians will travel both domestically and internationally during the upcoming two long weekends in September. Greece remains the top choice for travelers, with bus trips priced between 330 and 790 leva already sold out, and air packages ranging from 800 to 1,250 leva for stays of 4 to 6 nights.

The current heatwave in Bulgaria shows no signs of abating for at least the next ten days, with warm nights also expected. Climatologist Prof. Georgi Rachev, speaking on Radio Stara Zagora, attributed the prolonged heat to a hot front originating from North Africa.

Today's weather in Bulgaria will be mostly sunny and hot. In the morning, the skies will be clear, but by afternoon, cumulus and cumulus-rain clouds will form, particularly in Western and Central Bulgaria, leading to short-term precipitation and thunder in some areas.

In the next five days, temperatures in Bulgaria are expected to range from 32 to 38 degrees, with Thursday and Friday marking the peak of the heatwave, according to climatologist Professor Georgi Rachev on bTV. He described the humid tropical nights as particularly uncomfortable, likening them to being "boiled in your own sauce."

According to climatologist Prof. Georgi Rachev, Bulgaria can expect a warming trend over the upcoming weekend as a cold front moves away from the region. Saturday will see temperatures climbing to 27-28 degrees Celsius, with expectations of reaching 34 degrees by next Friday.

From Friday, the warming trend in Bulgaria will continue, and by June 10, temperatures will rise even further. Climatologist Prof. Georgi Rachev mentioned that after Sunday, air conditioners will be needed for cooling.

According to Professor Georgi Rachev, a Bulgarian climatologist speaking on bTV, Bulgaria can expect an abundance of sunshine with no rainfall until Sunday afternoon. Rachev predicts that temperatures will hover slightly below normal levels, with dynamic weather patterns anticipated over the next few days across the country.
