The highest temperature, 39.3C, was measured in the village of Parvomay, Blagoevgrad Region, on July 20, 2026. The lowest minimum at a populated-area station was 4.9C in Dragoman on July 26, while Mount Musala recorded minus 2.6C on July 23. Temperatures in Sofia ranged from 8.9C on July 24 to 33.4C on July 18. Monthly averages at NIMH monitoring locations ranged between 18C and 26C.

NIMH’s analysis of July also recorded several sharp declines in seawater temperatures along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. A temporary shift to northwesterly winds overnight from July 8 to 9 drove surface waters offshore near Shabla, causing the temperature to fall rapidly by about 5C, from 22.5C to 17C. A drop of nearly 3C occurred near Ahtopol on the morning of July 13, while the temperature in Varna Bay fell by nearly 5C on the morning of July 25.
Several cold fronts crossed the country during the month, triggering powerful convective storms, heavy rain, hail and local flooding. Lightning strikes also caused fires.
August began with warm weather. A Code Yellow warning for high temperatures was in force in several regions on Saturday, and a hot-weather warning was also issued for Monday, August 3.
