In the Black Seas of Romania and Bulgaria there was record warmth for bathing this weekend, which was unusual for autumn. In the Romanian Danube town of Turnu Magurele on the border with Bulgaria, maximum temperatures of 35.1 degrees prevailed in the shade on Saturday.
This is the highest value for October 21 since there were official measurements in Romania, Romanian media reported on Sunday, citing the Meteorological Institute in Bucharest. “The water is very warm, warmer than in August, about 20 to 21 degrees,” the newspaper “Libertatea” quoted a tourist on the Black Sea, where the air temperature rose to 31.8 degrees.
Many people went to the beach
It was also midsummer in neighboring Bulgaria: in the Black Sea city of Varna, temperatures rose to 33.4 degrees on Saturday. This broke a record of 33 years, state television reported on Saturday evening, citing the Bulgarian Meteorological Institute. In the bright sun, many people were drawn to the beach in the tourist hotspot.
The highest water temperature on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was measured slightly further south near Burgas, namely 21 degrees. The previous heat record in Varna was 24.6 degrees on October 21, 1990.
