The Agriculture and Forestry Ministry has initiated efforts to reintroduce the cistern system, which was used centuries ago for the purpose of storing water, to combat the recently increasing floods across the country.

Today over the western half of Bulgaria it will be mostly sunny, in the afternoon - with cumulus clouds, but it will be almost without precipitation.

Cloudy weather will prevail today and in some places, mainly in the western half of Bulgaria, there will be short-term rains and thunderstorms.

There will be no precipitation along the Danube. In Eastern Bulgaria, a light wind will blow from the east-northeast. Maximum temperatures will be between 23°C and 28°C, in Sofia around 23°C.

Let us remind you that yesterday there was information that two cyclones are moving towards each other and will collide right over the Balkans.
As said, one cyclone is supposed to bring us showers even more abundant than the ones that are already hitting us. While the other brings even greater heat and fume.

The climate change, as in the rest of the world, is taking a heavy toll on Türkiye as extreme weather events in the country are on the rise, an expert has warned, while stressing that cities should stay prepared to face sudden events such as flash floods in the coming years.

The minimum temperatures will be between 11°C and 16°C, and the maximum - from 24°C to 31°C, in Sofia - about 26°C.

Α meteorologist has warned that there could be a tripling of extreme and severe weather phenomena in Thessaloniki compared to previous years due to climate change.

A yellow code for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms is in effect for 18 municipalities in Western and Central Bulgaria, according to a reference on the website of the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology.

The minimum temperatures will be between 10°C and 17°C, and the maximum - between 21°C and 27°C, in Sofia - around 22°C.

Sunny weather will prevail before noon. Around and after noon, cumulus clouds will develop in the western half of the country, and mainly there will be precipitation and thunder. Hail conditions remain. A light wind will blow from the east-northeast.

Maximum temperatures will be between 22°C and 27°C, in Sofia - around 22°C.

Again, cumulus-rain clouds will develop in many places in Bulgaria and there will be precipitation and thunder. Hail is also expected. There will be almost no precipitation in the western and central regions of the Danube Plain. A light wind will blow from the east-northeast.
